So to figure out just what is happening and why, you will have to tell 
us more then you have so far.  What card is this anyway?

1. What have you done so far to troubleshoot this?  What does Google 
 have to say about this Card working on Linux?

2. What does the /etc/network/interfaces file look like.

3. What is the output of 'lsmod |grep  Realtek'

You can not expect us to help you unless you give us more information.

Note: All replies should go this the list not to those you expect to 
help you.
