Comment 20 for bug 1788730

Installed files from folder 1. Card is recognized, module r8169 loaded, and is operational! I made some speed tests and all appears to be okay.

Also to note. I didn't have installed the linux-tools and linux-cloud-tools packages (from repositories, not yours). So I needed to install linux-tools-generic and linux-cloud-tools-generic from repos and then install yours. I made and image of the disk prior to deploy your files, If you want I can try the files without "tools" packages (repos and yours).

After that I installed files from folder 2. Not all went fine, after issuing command "sudo dpkg -i linux-image-unsigned-4.15.0-33-generic_4.15.0-33.36ubuntu2_amd64.deb" an error appeared:

I rebooted with a different kernel 4.15.0-29 and removed all files related to 4.15.0-33, after that rebooted and reinstalled all "folder 2" files, after reboot (again) the nic is sort-of detected but no operational, issuing command lspci -vv outputs the card with "Kernel modules: r8169" but no sign of "Kernel driver in use", this line of disappeared.

I'll try again tomorrow installing folder 2 files over folder 1. Fortunately I made an image prior to deployment of files.

Thanks a lot!
