Hi,

I have an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard with integrated Nvidia MCP51 Gigabit
Ethernet NIC and
TP-Link TG-3468 PCIe network card which is basically using Realtek chip.

I have several problems:

1. There is a boot time menu for tp-link card which says it is a 8111b/8111c
but re driver supports
RTL8139C+, RTL8169, RTL8169S, RTL8110S, RTL8168S, RTL8111S and RTL8101E. Is
it correct using the re driver?
2. The Nvidia network interface is working properly but the other though it
seems recognized by OS I cannot use.
Sporadically it remains down and if it gets up then does not get ip address
via DHCP nor help if I set static ip address.
Can manipulate via ifconfig but unreachable via IP.

I replaced cable, interchanged cable working with Nvidia, restarted
switch/router but no luck so far.

And advise please?

Thanks,
Gabor
