Massimiliano Torromeo (Arch Package Maintainer) has recently dropped the r8168 package to the AUR as he is no longer maintaining it on GitHub for newer kernels. Realtek only supports up to 6.8. However, Arch has kept the r8168-lts package for now, however it will also eventually be dropped. Regardless, the in-tree r8169 module is normally preferred.

  • Remove the r8168 folder from mhwd-db
  • Remove the r8168 linuxXXX-extramodule from the packages repo; i.e., for linux610
  • Remove the r8168 module from the kernel CI (can't find where it is right now)
  • Drop linuxXXX-r8168 packages
  • Add a notice to the forum Announcement topic
