<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello Edwin,</p> <p>I had mailed RockPi support and was waiting on their reply before I replied to you. The driver they use is the RTL8111G. I am assuming that since all drivers from 8111 family are supported, it should be fine. I am also exploring Linux, albeit am not really well versed in the system. Could you point me over to some resources which can help me patch the kernel to have realtime capability?. </p> <p>Yours sincerely,<br/> Giri</p></div>
