Will it work with my MB lan? Realtek® 8111E

Guys?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

If it breaks, check this out http://www.twm-kd.com/linux/realtek-rtl81688111e-and-ubuntu-linux/

Even the latest I can get in the package manager in Mint 11?

It'll be fine

I've never used Mint, but I know with Ubuntu and other flavours the previous kernel is usually left so you can just boot into the previous one via Grub. Can't see it being any different with Mint being based off Ubuntu.

Just curious, what is the latest I can get in the package man. in gnome? I have linux-headers-2.6.38-8.

It works out of the box with Mint 13. Just upgrade to that.

13 still has gnome right?

It uses the new Gnome 3 shell. But there's also different versions. One uses the Cinnamon desktop (which is a fork of Gnome 3 shell and is actually excellent and what I use on Mint), the MATE desktop which is a fork of Gnome 2 (which is still buggy the last time I used it) and there's XFCE and KDE versions too.
