Realtek RTL8111 set as INTEL PRO 82540EM in W7.

Post by antonio sanchez »

Hello.
This is my first post. Sorry for my english.

My SO host is OpenSuse 42.3 and guest Windows 7 Ultimate.

My network card of my Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H is Realtek RTL8111. Set as Am79C973 the OS not find the adapter network. Another Windows XP guest play well with AM79C973.

I need to adjust to INTEL PRO/1000 mt DESKTOP (nat) 82540 em for the OS find the adapter with the drivers installed from Gigabyte.

Actually you had another post. In 2008 ;)

If you don't feel comfortable with your English, use Google translate or DeepL.

Your Windows 7 comes default with the "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop". Do not change the defaults. If you changed it, change it to the default. You do *not* need to install any drivers from Gigabyte. You have a virtual network card. You do not have the network card of your host.
