Unnecessary "Connection failed" messages when on ethernet

[nikgnomic]

Information in post#1 shows RTL8111/8168/8411 Ethernet Controller is using r8169 driver

Wired connection keeps dropping - #6 by nikgnomic

Manjaro hardware detection tool can install kernel modules for r8168 driver and blacklist r8169 driver

sudo mhwd -i pci network-r8168

Or use Manjaro Settings Manager GUI:

manjaro-settings-manager -m msm_mhwd

enable option in bottom left corner - Show All Devices

Look in section Network controller > RTL8111/8168/8411 for network-r8168

Right click on network-r8168 and select Install

Manjaro Settings Manager should install r8168 driver for each kernel version on system and blacklist the r8169 driver
