I've fixed two major bugs in realtek8180.device, which should make it much more reliable on both 32-bit and 64-bit. It should also work with DHCP now, although it can be slow to assign an address.

I've hopefully managed to attach 32-bit and 64-bit binaries below.

@ntromans Thanks for your testing and perseverance with this driver, which prompted me to take another look at it after many years.

I failed to attach both binaries to the initial post, so here's the 64-bit one.

Many thanks! I shall give this a try over the weekend along wiith 64 bit release candidate Smile

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. I was finding on 64 bit the previous realtek8180.device could use DHCP on 64 bit; this worked both with my home network and the one at the recent Midlands Amiga Enthusiasts meet (although it took a few restarts to get onto that one). I use the startnet/stopnet/startnet trick.

See the RTl8187 list here: https://wiki.debi...ed-rtl8187
Only RTL8187B chips are likely to work.
