Hello,

There is a driver available at http://www.realtek.com.tw download section
(please enter "Linux driver" as search criteria and seek for 8111B) and/or on
motherboard CDs. Current version (as if January 15, 2007) is 1.05.

It compiles OK on standard kernel (make clean modules, make install, depmod -a),
but not on the kernel-xen flavour of the kernel.


Regards,
Răzvan

Since its in 2.6.19, we'll inherit support when we push a 2.6.19 kernel (Real
Soon Now).
