I am new to kernel development, so apologies if I make newbie mistakes.The Realtek's in-house driver doesn't satisfy the rules or requests of Linux kernel, so I don't think you could use it to replace the Linux kernel r8152 driver. The version is used to distinguish between the Realtek's in-house driver and Linux kernel r8152 driver. It doesn't mean you have to use version 2, even the version 2 may contain more experiment features. Best Regards, Hayes
Thanks for clarifying this, and thanks Greg for your advice in the previous message. I will follow Greg's advice and try and identify that bits of code that fixes my issue of having throttled data-transfer speed via ethernet. If you have some kind of in-house changelog that you could make available to me, I would be grateful. Best, Albert
