Public bug reported:

I greatfuly recognized that Ubuntu Jaunty has support vor Realteks
RTL8102 Chipset, found in many Netbooks based on MSI's U100.

unfourtunley the Driver is in an unofficial - internal - Beta Stage.
(see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141)

One Issue that really troubles me is lacking support for Unicast. This renders 
everything thats based on MDNS useless.
Like: Gnome-Networkshare, Vino, Hotssh, Rythmbox Musicsharing, Avahi-Tools, and 
so on....

Symthoms: 
1.) You can ping an other Network.Computer and you also can make use of his 
services (like webdav), but avahi-discover, can not find them.
2.) Other Computers can not find you with avahi-discover, but can make use of 
you services if they know your IP and TCP-Port.
3.) Broadcast ping -b 255.255.255.255 does not work for me, but im not sure 
about this.


I don't know if anything like a Realtek-Bugtracker exists, to report the Bug to 
Realtek. So i belive that it is a good idea to have a Bugreport in Launchpad, 
so that other Users with this Issue have some Information on it.
