I have the same chipset:
$ lspci -s2: -v
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168
PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P8P67 and other motherboards
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 81
I/O ports at d000 [size=256]
Memory at dc104000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
Memory at dc100000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169
So, check for 'r8169' or something similar. My kernel is 3.10.96.
