Details

after upgrading to this kernel, wired network interface isn't detected. trying to load the module manually results in this:

[root@laptop phani]# modprobe r8168
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'r8168': Invalid argument

trying to install r8168-all from AUR, which mitigated the problem when this happened earlier, also doesn't work with this kernel.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  r8168 8.035.00-6; rebuilt, again. Weird that it broke on a minor kernel release.

Do you have community-testing enabled? Obviously the package from community won't work (as it's built against 3.7).

$ bsdtar xf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/r8168-8.035.00-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
$ modinfo usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.8-ARCH/r8168.ko.gz | grep vermagic
vermagic: 3.8.0-1-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload modversions

tried it again, with the package from community/testing (again), and it still gives the same error when trying to add the module via modprobe.

the package from AUR (r8168-all) has been fixed, after i notified the maintainer, who wasn't aware that the 3.8 kernels required a patch.
