[...] No, that is not the solution. Realtek distributes two drivers (r8168 and r8169) supporting two sets of similar chips. In upstream Linux the r8169 driver supports all those chips. Some people compare an old r8169 with a newer r8168 and wrongly think that r8168 must be better. Please test Linux 3.0 as packaged in Debian unstable. Ben.
