Script to Fix Network Card R8168 and R8111 in Debian/Ubuntu GNU/Linux

The new Realtek r8168/r8111 network cards do not work out of the box

        in recent distributions of GNU/Linux. modprobe loads the r8169 module,
        which has not yet been updated to work with these cards. A work around
        is to use the r8168 driver provided by Realtek.

       
Download and Run the Script       

Someone has  written a shell script to automate the module switch. All relevant files can be downloaded at
        www.jamesonwilliams.com/bin/r8168_scripts.tar.bz2.
        To use this script, uncompress the tarball, enter the directory, and run
        the switchmods script:

        tar xjf r8168_scripts.tar.bz2

        cd r8168_scripts

        sudo ./switchmods;

Restart m the  System and Check.
