    Drivers for TP-LINK TG-3468 NIC

    I purchased the TP-LINK TG-3468 as I read a number of reviews saying that the NIC works with linux. I've been working that last several evenings to get the card working with no luck. I was hoping someone could give me a hand. Here is some relevant information.

    I tried installing r8161-dkms but that didn't seem to help.

     # apt-get install r8161-dkms

    Re: Drivers for TP-LINK TG-3468 NIC

    There are multiple versions of the is card. V1-V4. TP-Link website shows Linux support for first version (V1) only. Contact the vendor support for clarification.
    Learning...... Little odd way for here, read as much as you can before trying anything....
    and get confused enough to forget the actual task.........
