Tim -, We tried all the PCI options but still get the same problem. And today, we tried the source code from RealTek, and it can successfully loaded in hardy. Here is the steps we take
1. Install Ubuntu 7.10. NIC is recogonized as rtl8169 and driver is loaded but not functional. 2. Upgrade to 8.04 by online update 3. Now you have 8.04 boot menu in Grub. But you can't boot from it due to the this issue 4. build Realtek driver under 7.10 by using 8.04 head files and modules 5. extract 8.04 initrd.img and replace r8169.ko with r8101.ko and pack initrd.img back 6. replace r8169.ko with r8101.ko in /lib/modules 7. Reboot with 8.04 and now we can successfully boot 8.04 and NIC can work normally. Here is pci ids. 04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
