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) !

Title:
  Realtek R8111E not working in Oneiric

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Network appears to work until it suddenly stops. Packets are being
  dropped for no apparent reason. Kernel log is full of this:

  Oct 02 09:13:25 machine kernel: r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link up
  Oct 02 12:45:17 machine kernel: r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link up
  Oct 02 12:45:20 machine kernel: r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link up
  Oct 02 13:15:12 machine kernel: r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link up
  Oct 02 13:15:13 machine kernel: r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link up
  Oct 02 13:22:13 machine kernel: r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link up

  Sometimes there are longer pauses between 'link up' messages and
  during that time network is not working.

  Upon investigating a little, I found out that there's an official
  Realtek driver for 8111E. Stock r8169 driver is faulty for some reason
  and it doesn't work. Compiling and installing of the official driver
  wasn't smooth, but in the end the newly compiled r8168 (note the
  different number) did work. Installation required renaming/removing
  r8169.ko to prevent it from loading.

  Original driver can be obtained here:
  http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

  I've noticed that this problem has been around for quite some time
  (2009 I believe) and no simple solution is offered. RTL 8111E  is
  quite common and a lot of people will have problems with this. :(

  I am running current Oneiric.
