Confirmed for kernel version 2.6.24-16.
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)

This would be quite an issue when Harde is released since this is a common chipset.

Some other info:
When I boot the laptop with an ethernetcable attached ethtool will tell me that a link is detected.
After removing the cable ethtool will still report as being detected.
rmmod r8169 && modprobe r8169
will show as link NOT detected, after plugging in cable link still isnt detected.
When link is detected static routing doesn't work also.
