No, it is NOT fixed.  I have tested with my two motherboards (listed in the
history of this bug) and it is still broken.  I am able to DHCP but even
simple pings on my internal network stop working after about 5 tries.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

Hello!
(I have already submitted information via Kubuntu device database;
Submission Id: 47f10a94b24e91a660a54f0bf6d0ddf2).

I  use Kubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 and made updates recommended by adept notfier.
Current kernel version on my system is
2.6.22-11-generic. I have Athlon x2 4000+ with MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital
motherboard. The motherboard has integrated Gigabit
Realtek 8111B controller; however, my network switch supports only 100Mbps. 

When computer boots, module r8169 is loaded, but the adapter is not
functioning (pinging gateway gives "network is unreachable" message). I had
to download and compile  r8168-8.003.00.tar.bz2 from realtek.com.tw .
Driver r8168 works for my controller, but I could not get rid of r8169,
which loads after each reboot and gets in the way. When I do manually unload
r8169 and load r8168.ko and restart the network service, then only LAN comes
up. 

To summarize the problems:
1) Gutsy Gibbon alpha includes a driver (r8169.ko) which  does not actually
support the hardware (RTL8111B) it detects as supportable.
2) Gutsy Gibbon alpha does not include r8168.ko driver which DOES support
that hardware. 
3) The two drivers conflict with each other: when r8169 is loaded before
r8168 ,  the network controller is not operative.
