i am having all sorts of weird things happening with this nic as well in Xubuntu 13.10. Sometimes websites cant even be resolved like github.com. It's very strange, it's autoloading the r8169 driver but my chipset is

Title:
  10ec:8168 [Intel DP67BG] Disconnects in realtek  RTL8111/8168/8411 NIC

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have the following card:

  06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
  	Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
  	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 55
  	I/O ports at 2000 [size=256]
  	Memory at f3200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
  	Expansion ROM at f3700000 [disabled] [size=128K]
  	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
  	Capabilities: [48] Vital Product Data
  	Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/2 Maskable- 64bit+
  	Capabilities: [60] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
  	Capabilities: [84] Vendor Specific Information: Len=4c <?>
  	Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting

  
  it's connected to another computer (under Windows).
  when this computer powers up/wake up, link not estabilished (in ~ 30% cases).

  I have this problem since ubuntu 10.04. Currently using 12.04 with kernel
  3.8.0-35-generic #50~precise1-Ubuntu

  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  
  that is strange that my card is 8168, but driver 8169 is used.
  lsmod |grep r816
  r8169                  68904  0 

  possibly similar issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/998200 - actually issue looks identical, except
  me NIC is slightly different and except that issue appears to be fixed.
