I've been getting an issue since upgrading to 2.6.39 in Natty from the Kernel-PPA repository.

When I do a sudo update-initramfs -u I get the following error message.

I did notice that firmware wasn't in the allocated directory. Does anyone know where to get the firmware files for this.

There's a solution at http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2011/05/06/800--resolu-solved-w-possible-missing-firmware-lib-firmware-rtl_nic-rtl8105e-1fw-for-module-r8169. Essentially you need to do:

Rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2fw download windows 7

and then sudo update-initramfs -u works without errors.

Do sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek and the problem should be solved

Perhaps a better answer is to install linux-firmware package and if necessary linux-firmware-nonfree package.
