Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
controller
== Fix ==
Provide the v3.1 r8169 driver via linux-backports-modules
------------
Hi,
I have a newer motherboard (GA-990XA-UD3), the network chips is
1 x Realtek RTL8111E chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)
lspci:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B
PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
The problem is that ubuntu 11.10 beta uses the driver r8169 and the network
does not work :

The solution is to use the driver r8168 :

Since I use the r8168 driver the network works very well.
Thank you for correcting the problem.
