[Bug 597995] [NEW] Realtek RTL8111/8168B NIC not working - regression from 9.10

[Eneko Lacunza]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic

Kernel identifies NIC as eth0, but it doesn't work. If I try a manual
dhclient on it, the following appears:

elacunza at elacunza-laptop:~$ sudo dhclient eth0
