Screw you Realtek
So I’ve got three nodes in my homelab k8s cluster (celebrated its 7’th birthday the other day 🎈 ) that are lovely little lenovo M75 boxes. They’re cheap, reasonably powerful, not too old, and make great k8s nodes for light workloads. The big problem, however, is that they have Realtek RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 NICs in them, which are not good.
