Hi,
I put in a “Realtek RTL8111F” PCIe network card into my desktop.
Desktop runs current (stable) Manjaro KDE Plasma.
My system takes over 1 minute to boot.
Also I notice that there is a constant red light on the above network card?
Any ideas about the above?
Network card appears to work, just need help with slow boot/red light
Thanks!
NOTE: Sorry, forgot system info below:
