i tried the r8101-1.008.05-1 driver tim sent me without much success ...
it loads fine and reports the proper link state when loaded ... 
it does not recognize any link changes with ethtool or in dmesg.

if i plug/unplug the cable and disable/enable networking in network
manager the initial link state if NM comes up again is reported
correctly by ethtool, but state changes (unplugging or re-plugging) are
not detected ...

if i try to get a dhcp address with link up state DHCPDISCOVER messages
are broadcasted and i see the following in my dhcpd logs repeatedly untl
NM gives up and falls back to avahi:

Jul 30 12:50:43 ceron dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:03:0d:89:1f:1d (classmate) 
via eth0
Jul 30 12:50:43 ceron dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.2.85 to 00:03:0d:89:1f:1d 
(classmate) via eth0
