It uses a driver for the 8111* chips that isn't really compatible. I have a 8111E chip and with the kernel drivers it stops working after about an hour. You will probably need the Linux driver from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false To install it, simply run the provided "autorun.sh" script as root. It will compile and copy the kernel modules to /lib/modules/ For it to work, you need to build a kernel with your current ethernet driver disabled. It works with kernel 3.0. Don't know about 3.1, I guess it doesn't yet.
