-===== Specific Ethernet device issues =====
+===== Ethernet adapter not functioning at all =====
-Batocera uses the mainline Linus Kernel for the majority of it's drivers.
+In certain cases it may be required to disable the Linux kernel driver in favor of the vendor driver if provided (FIXME where from?).
-Sometimes the driver may be less functional or lacking certain features than the vendor drivers.
-In certain cases it may be required to disable the Linux kernel drive in favour of the vendor driver if provided.
-**Known Ethernet controller issues:**
+(FIXME how can Ethernet adapters be identified?)
-RealTek 8111 Ethernet adapter may not connect after a warm boot after using Windows.
+(FIXME if we know which models specifically don't work can't we fix this at the source?)
-  * Edit the file at ''/etc/init.d/816x.conf'' blacklisting ''r8169'' instead of ''r8168''. This will enable the r8168 vendor driver.
-  * Use ''batocera-save-overlay'' to update until the next upgrade.
+==== Realtek 8111 Ethernet adapter ====
-RealTek 8169 Ethernet Ethernet controller does not run at 2.5GHz on a supported LAN.
-  * Edit the file at ''/etc/init.d/blacklist-r8169.conf''. Remove the comment from the line ''blacklist r8169''
