Comment 38 for bug 864750

This bugs seems to re-open in trusty (ubuntu 14.04) in april 2014, while tying a new GIGABYTE motherboard (H61N-USB3) with a RTL8111E chip !

The loaded module is the r8169 : /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver/module -> ../../../../module/r8169

$ lspci -vnvn

The card LED blinks (green & orange), but "no connexion" to the local network (thru DHCP).

So I connected a NET2USB key in order to access to the network ... on eth1

$ ethtool eth0

I 'll retry the "new driver" proposed by REALTEK, but it doesn't seem to work (r8168-8.038.00, builded on 2014/01/08) !
