      @Clebboii Thank you so much for testing this! I now have a better idea of what needs to be done for future releases.
      You are welcome to continue using the “OEM driver” kernel for now until I create a full upstream release.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Here the command.

        sudo apt install git build-essential flex bison libelf-dev
        git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fos
        cd fos
        ./build.sh --kernel-only --arch x64
        wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.14.9.tar.gz
        tar xzf linux-6.14.9.tar.gz
        cd linux-6.14.9/
        git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
        git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
        make mrproper
        wget -O .config https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/raw/master/configs/kernelx64.config
        apt install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev perl libssl-dev bc gnupg dirmngr libncurses-dev libelf-dev flex bison lsb-release rsync dwarves
        make menuconfig
        make -j $(nproc) bzImage
        cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /home/ckern-linux/Bureau/bzImageReg6149

          Ah that explains the difference. You didn’t just rebuild the kernel you jump to the next version. The FOG developers typically only use long term supported kernel. Currently the latest long term kernel is 6.12.x, you used a development kernel 6.14.x which is not EOL (just means fixes and updates will not happen in this branch).

          It looks like whatever was causing the slowness was resolved in 6,14.x and later versions of the linux kernel. Thank you for the clarification.

            What did you do here, did you fold in the realtek oem driver into the kernel build. I was looking at going this path for another open issue with a realtek 8125, where the oem driver solves a lot of the issues with the default universal drive 8169.

              @george1421 That is exactly what I did, I disabled the 8169 driver from the kernel config too.
              I think I know what other issue you are talking about. The release that I posted earlier only has the 8168 driver.

              I just uploaded a kernel with 8125, 8126, and 8168 drivers, if you want to try it out for that issue.

                Good going. That 8125 driver was originally in the linux kernel individually but then the driver was merged into the 8169 unified driver which has not kept up with the realtek hardware changes. I was getting lost trying to integrate a third party driver into the linux kernel. I could compile it as a module and add it to the init.xz but that is not a sustainable solution. If you have it integrated into the kernel for the 8169 (1GbE) and 8125 (2.5GbE) that should cover most of the common network adapters today from realtek (outside of the 10GbE stuff, but those haven’t hit the desktops yet).
                Well done!

                  Out of curiosity, when will this hit the production FOS image? Be handy to not need to purchase Dell Ethernet Adapters.

                    @Clebboii @olivier-bonnici I created an experimental kernel that includes the drivers to fix this issue. Would you be willing to test it and let us know how it goes?

                        @Clebboii I just noticed an error in how FOG displays the experimental kernel/init releases. For now, please get it from here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/tag/EXP_20250630
