The card is dead. No flashing lights. Even after plugging wire. No link detected as well.

I've noticed that using dhcp "kills" device.
Please try to reproduce this bug with latest kernel image.
I've tried the (rev 15) hardware with kernel 5.6.12 and it works.
I tried with Kernel 5.11 and it sometimes work sometimes not. It's still buggy. r8168 works always.

A new report would have been better than replying to a 6 yrs old ticket. Also you mave a different chip version. 1. Please describe in more detail what does not work Error loading driver? Link not established? Communication errors? 2. Please provide a full dmesg log 3. Please provide output of "ethtool -i <interface>"
I also have problems with Realtek pcie gbe family controller 8168 Before installation internet is working. Kernel error message related to network hardware appears during installation. I tried lastest Fedora 34 KDE, Fedora 34 xfce, Kubuntu 21.04, Ubuntu 21.04. Fedora 34 Gnome - distro that was able to use the Internet after installation. But at first, the operating system could not find the connection for a long time.
