I can't do it for a while, I discovered the bug after rebuilding my main work 
machine with a new mainboard, CPU and RAM. Now it's running the 32bit version 
of Kubuntu happily, and I'm using it. (I'm a freelance tech 
writer/journalist).

I do have a second machine that I keep as a spare, once I'm sure this one is 
OK and I'm certain I've copied back all the files on that I created while this 
one was in pieces then I might experiment with it.

That said I've only ever once replaced a kernel, many years ago when I was 
playing with Linux rather than relying on it for everyday use, so it might be 
a while before I figure out what I'm doing.

Title:
  Realtek network driver fail in 64bit versions

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have tested live DVD and installed versions of Kubuntu 14.10, both
  32 bit and 64 bit on a PC with Realtek GbE LAN chipset RTL
  8111/8168/8411. Using the 64bit versions networking is not available.
  Using the 32 bit versions it 'just works'.

  Also tested live DVD version of KaOS (64bit). That doesn't work
  either, so I suspect KDE issue?

  Reported to KDE, but they responded hardware driver issues should go
  to distro...
