Download, compile and install the r8168 driver. It works very well. I've just upgraded to the latest release and I was able to compile and install very easily. As stated in other posts, the 2.6.24 kernel loads r8169 instead of r8168. r8169 does not work with this card and it can prevent the system from booting.
Follow these instructions to install your r8168 driver and blacklist the r8169. http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html These instructions are not mine, credit goes to Jameson Williams. -- r8169 driver does not work with Realtek "PCI-E" 8111B integrated network controller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
