Hmmm... I didn't think there was an 8169 driver from RealTek.  Anyway, I 
am using the RealTek 8168 driver now.  The original kernel driver was 
the r8169.

Here is what lspci says:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
