How do I install a Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 driver on Ubuntu?












0














I can't connect to the internet using wifi or ethernet. Only using my phone as a usb tether. I've looked everywhere for guides on how to get the driver but most of them are for other realtek versions and the ones that are my versions the link to the driver is 404. Here's some info:



$ inxi -nx



Network:   Card-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCIE Gigabit Ethernet Controller

           driver: r8169 v: 2.3LK-NAPI port: 3000 bus-ID: 01:00.1

           IF: enp1s0f1 state: down mac: f0:76:1c:2b:38:15

           Card-2: Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n bus-ID: 02:00.0

           IF: N/A state: N/A mac: N/A


Ultimately, if there is a better way, can someone please just tell me how to connect to the internet?

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell".
