I can't believe it.....
In last hope I got a realtek GB out of a windows machine, the card has a 
different layout from probably more recent ones (larger etc...), still 
the r8169 is on it.
Guess what .... it works out of the (old windows) box...

So it seems that not all realtek cards are the same despite the same 
chipset on it.
Note that both types are working without troubles under Windows.
Anyway, I would probably not have had the same feedback on a windows 
mailing list either :-)

Cheers
