Есть такая сетевуха:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)

Есть ли основания использовать net-misc/r8168 вместо штатного ядерного драйвера?
Внешне разницы в работе не нахожу, кроме того, что r8169 подгружает фирмварь rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw(хотя и без этого работает)
