It conflicts with r8169.ko inobviously. The whole mess looks like this: - r8169.ko doesn't work for all of Realtek 8111/8168/8169 mutations - r8168.ko works with some of the chips r8169.ko doesn't - r8168.ko also works with many chips r8169.ko works with - r8169.ko is provided by kernel-image package (thus default) - r8168.ko is provided by kernel-modules-r8168 package (optional) - kernel-modules-r8168 package requires r8168-blacklist package - r8168-blacklist package is a one-liner that blacklists r8169.ko - STAGE1_KMODULES wouldn't include r8168 (std-def) or rtl8168 (led-ws) - sub.in/stage1/modules would mention r8168.ko (m-p-d: r8169.ko) So a LiveCD built with use/kernel/net might work with RTL8111/8110 just fine when booted live but fail to automatically load the module when installed onto hard drive; manual modprobe r8169 would work though. NB: some of the chips (those available to me) would work just fine both ways -- this has contributed to fixing this *that* late. Bottom line: do not install backup/kludge drivers overriding main ones by default! Thanks sem@ for providing the crucial hint.
