|}

=== Linux support ===
These Ethernet chips are supported by the '''r8169''' driver

If you find that the driver included with your Linux distribution is not stable, you may have to download the driver directly from Realtek and compile it yourself.

In the Thinkpad Edge 11" (Intel) the driver crashes really often (at least with Kernel 2.6.36). Please use the proprietary driver '''r8168''' from Realtek instead.
