No thank you, but thanks for offering.

I applied the patch. You seem more familiar with dkms and drivers. Do you want to take ownership of this package?

@patlefort

Sorry for the spam, but I noticed that r8168 can be compiled to use firmware, just like the r8169 driver uses firmware.

You have to add -DENABLE_USE_FIRMWARE_FILE and manually specify r8168-objs to include all the defaults plus r8168_firmware.o. I tried doing r8168-objs+=' r8168_firmware.o, but this does not work. linux-firmware will be needed as that provides the firmware files.

Also, the license() should be SPDX compliant GPL-2.0-or-later.

@patlefort

Please add -DCONFIG_DYNAMIC_ASPM and -DENABLE_GIGA_LITE to the EXTRA_CFLAGS. They are enabled in the Makefile by default.

Update: the module r8169 will now be blacklisted automatically once this package is installed.
