Hello,
I had a quick look around to see if anyone has already asked this, and I couldn't find a solution/question.
I have a GByte GA-P67A-UD4 (Version B3) and 1GB XFX HD6870:
The driver for the network card on the motherboard is RTL8111E, and requires the r8168 - which I get from the realtek website (http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false)
The driver for my graphics card I get direct from the Ati website (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx), and works very well thank you very much.
However, every time I get a Kernel upgrade, the drivers for both of these are changed; the network card gets set to the repo driver (r8169) - and I have never found out what the graphics card gets set to, as my X-session just goes blank on re-install, and I just put back my Ati driver through the safe-session thing.
Is there anyway of repressing the driver updates?
Am I asking in the wrong place/going about this wrong?
Cheers
