Title:
  Realtek RTL8111/8168B not supported

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS AMD64 the onboard gigabit network card "Ethernet
  controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express
  Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)" is not supported.

  Installing the driver from the realtek website works (but then needs
  to be reinstalled manually every time the kernel is updated...). If
  including the driver is impossible due to whatever licensing issues,
  could there at least be a way to install the propertiary driver trough
  the "additional drivers" interface, so it's DKMSed in or whatever.
