Comment 36 for bug 141343

This driver is also broken for me. I have a Realtek PCI-E 8111C, integrated into a Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L. The bug, for me, has manifested itself differently, and more subtly.

My problems are: 1) I have intermittent trouble acquiring an IP via DHCP in Hardy, 2) Networking is completely broken in Fedora 9, and 3) Avahi service discovery doesn't work, except locally, although other computers can see my published Avahi services.

Jameson's patch & install script for the Realtek-supplied driver (http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html) works great for me. Installing r8168 solves at least #1 and #3 above.
