| Post subject: | R8 - which kernel? |
One of my Linhes machines runs a realtek wireless card (Realtek RTL8111E) that I have never been able to get working under 7.4. I have just had some major problems with 7.4 that were self-inflicted, so rather than try and fix them I thought a better option might be to upgrade to R8 (even though it has not been officially released). As later kernels have support for this realtek chip, I am hoping R8 has the necessary kernel support. I tried doing a forum search on kernel and R8 but unfortunately both searches were rejected. So, can anyone help with the kernel number in R8? |

Looks like v3.6.7: http://linhes.org/repo/x86_64/core -- You can always build your own using the LH PKGBUILD as a guide: http://cgit.linhes.org/linhes_pkgbuild/ ... core/linux Are you sure your hardware is available as a module that you can build? |

Thanks Graysky, the rtl8111 is infamous, but AFAIK it should be well and truly fixed in a kernel as recent as the one in R8. Fingers x. |

To upgrade to R8 you should only need to `pacman -Syyu` no? |

I had thought R8 needed to be a fresh install, but on checking the wiki it seems to be possible to do an upgrade. However my 7.4 system is pretty screwed now, so a fresh install seems to be the best option. |

Depends on the source of the screw. You have nothing to lose do you? |
