This works no more on Linux 4.15, because the code calls the setup_timer function, wich was dropped not too much time ago https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/513ae785c63c30741e46f43960213d4ae5382ec0#diff-ba8897e9349509c7ca4d37b0704bee9c

I've tried to adapt it for the new kernel, you can find my version here. https://github.com/DGdev91/r8168/commit/bc248cd63115388d76d15e1c5ac8ac2f74a2dc25 There's probably a cleaner way to achieve this, but at least it works.

I've also created a pull request on mtorromeo's repo, wich is in the pkgbuild. (it's there just in case someone is seeking for a way to run this on kernel 4.15+, i know he doesn't accept patches, it's supposed to be just a mirror)

Here the patch https://pastebin.com/sCcpUqUu

It breaks for linux-lts 4.4.19-1, which is caused by linux-4.5.patch. Here is a patch that works: https://gist.github.com/wangjiezhe/c96211fe4ed95bf633366b314eafe504

The patch has several conditions: "#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4,7,0)" to change the code. It shouldn't affect to previous kernels.

@clfarron4 Why would it break everything before 4.7? It's just some preprocessor directives to alter the code for 4.7.

Dear all: @ozmartian's patch works for 4.7 but breaks for everything before 4.7, so we're at a bit of an impasse here. Should we create a package for pre-4.7?

hi guys... here is the working patch file to get this working on 4.7 linux-4.7.patch https://gist.github.com/ozmartian/698c99ac7b9f4a5e5194f0591cd11ab0

This is the error from the make log if that helps, $ cat /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/make.log DKMS make.log for r8168-8.042 for kernel 4.7.0-rc7-gfa3a9f574 (x86_64) Sat Jul 16 08:00:11 AEST 2016 make: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.7.0-rc7-gfa3a9f574/build' CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.o /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.c: In function ‘rtl8168_init_one’: /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.c:22799:28: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘gso_min_segs’; did you mean ‘gso_max_segs’? dev->gso_min_segs = NIC_MIN_PHYS_BUF_COUNT; ^~ /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.c:22807:28: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘gso_min_segs’; did you mean ‘gso_max_segs’? dev->gso_min_segs = NIC_MIN_PHYS_BUF_COUNT; ^~ /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.c: In function ‘rtl8168_start_xmit’: /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.c:24969:12: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘trans_start’; did you mean ‘mem_start’? dev->trans_start = jiffies; ^~ make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:290: /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src/r8168_n.o] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:1457: _module_/var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.042/build/src] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.7.0-rc7-gfa3a9f574/build' Edit: Resolved by using the r8169 driver module instead .. aparently that works now in linux 4.7
