<br>
Thanks for the note. I suppose there is no "one-size-fit-all" solution<br>
to the issue. The original reason why r8169 was blacklisted was that,<br>
with the kmod-r8125 in RHEL 10, it still used the r8169 driver. Of<br>
course, when you have 2 NICs, the situation is not as simple as<br>
disabling one driver or the other.<br>
<br>
We'd like to get a good and reasonable solution but in the mean time,<br>
we could revert the change if that works as a temporary fix.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>we just install a fresh almalinux 10.1 without any kind of external repo to computer which has 2 different realtek card:</div><div># lspci -nn|grep -i eth<br>03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
