Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==
  Some users are experiencing connectivity issues with the r8169 driver in v3.0.  Apparently the r8169 driver in v3.1 is more reliable.

  == Impact ==
  Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller

  == Fix ==
  Provide the v3.1 r8169 driver via linux-backports-modules
  ------------

  Hi,

  I have a newer motherboard (GA-990XA-UD3), the network chips is
  1 x Realtek RTL8111E chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)

  lspci:
  03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)

  The problem is that ubuntu 11.10 beta uses the driver r8169 and the network does not work :

  The solution is to use the driver r8168 :

  Since I use the r8168 driver the network works very well.

  Thank you for correcting the problem.
