Title:
  TP-LINK TG-3468 network card not recognized correctly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A few days ago purchased a couple of TP-LINK TG-3468 network cards
  (reviewed by Phoronix here:
  https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTY2ODQ), both
  brand new, not reused. After installed them to a pc, to my surprise,
  one of them was correctly identified and the other was incorrectly
  identified as "NCube Device 8168 (rev 06)".

  After DuckDuckGoing for a while I found this kernel bud report for
  FreeBSD: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/not-recognized-pci-e
  -network-card.57734/

  IMHO is the same issue but I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.5 server i686. I
  wanted to report this so it can be fixed, please let me know wich
  logs/data should I provide.

  When ran lspci -nv this is shown for the correct nic:
  03:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 06)
        Subsystem: 7470:3468
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 27
        I/O ports at e800 [size=256]
        Memory at febff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Memory at fdffc000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: r8169
        Kernel modules: r8169

  And this for the incorrect one:
  01:00.0 0200: 10ff:8168 (rev 06)
        Subsystem: 7470:3468
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
        Memory at fe9ff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Memory at fdefc000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
  Release:      16.04

  2) In regard to the package I think this is related to the kernel itself?
  3) Both cards should be identified as "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)" and the 
r8169 driver should be used.
  4) The network card was erroneously detected as a different one and the 
driver was not loaded by the kernel.

  Best regards.
