I don't understand instruction 2. Is it one long line? What is the > doing there, and is it single spaced in between the two long strings? Or did it creep in when the email was transmitted?

sed 's/blacklist r8169/#blacklist r8169/' /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.bak > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Hi Rowan,

What is it you don't understand?

They appear to be giving you two options :-

a. revert to the default Ubuntu driver

1. mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.bak 2. sed 's/blacklist r8169/#blacklist r8169/' /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.bak > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 3. reboot

So you go into shell and switch to root, which you can do by typing "sudo bash" and then entering your password. You then take what's written in 1 and 2 above and type them into the shell exactly as shown. After that you shutdown and restart the computer, either by using "shutdown -rf" from the shell or from the desktop.

b. update their driver

1. cd /root/lc2000/r8168-8.008.00 2. make clean modules 3. depmod -a 4. reboot"

Same principle as above... type exactly what's written in 1-3 and then restart.

Best,

Sean
