Some users complained about problems with r8169 and it turned out that the generic PHY driver was used instead instead of the dedicated one. In all cases reason was that r8169.ko was in initramfs, but realtek.ko not. Manually adding realtek.ko to initramfs fixed the issues. Root cause seems to be that tools like dracut and genkernel don't consider softdeps. Add a check for loaded Realtek PHY driver module and provide the user with a hint if it's not loaded.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
