I am willing to send 50.00USD (approx 63.00 cad) via Interact E-transfer to the first person that is able to get my Ethernet driver working on my machine using only software or my existing hardware - no recommending I buy this card or that one. In order to receive the reward you must ensure that any…

I am so happy to report that I have found a solution to my problem. One solution was to install qubes with a kernel newer than 5.6. The solution outlined in this forum post does not require you to build a qubes ISO from scratch and can be accomplished in about half an hour. https://www.asty.org/qub…

[image] Christian: If there is a way to “re-map” the pci devices to the new mobo - that would be an ideal solution. Can’t you just detach all PCI devices before moving your Qubes installation and attach the new one afterwards? [image] How to use PCI devices This page is part of de…

[image] Christian: If I try it install Qubes on the desktop and move it to the laptop - it doesn’t boot on the laptop. If I install Qubes on the laptop and move it to the desktop it does boot - however some Qubes reference PCI devices that do not exist on the desktop. [image] …

I have tried listing the PCI devices on the new machine and manually attaching the Ethernet driver to the sys-net VM, however this still resulted in no internet, and many of my VM’s simply would not boot. this leads me to believe that many of the PCI…

Could you extract your working driver from one machine to another? Just a driver, not whole installation.

This is something I’m looking into now.

[image] Christian: The driver requires gcc and make to compile properly - gcc and make have a ton of dependencies that also must be installed manually. This would likes require the manual installation of dozens of independent packages via USB If you have the Internet on another machine, you s…

I will do just that, I am currently installing Qubes on my laptop- I will compile the driver on that machine. Do you know where I could find the driver binary?

Typically, when you compile a binary yourself, it appears in the current folder. README file could have more details.

Excellent, Qubes is currently being installed - the driver will be shortly after-words. I will keep you updated on the progress. I have installed the driver - there where a few soft errors but believe the driver was installed properly. I’ve “lsmod grep | r8125” and the driver appears to be loaded in…
