I had my connection drop intermittently with an r8168 based NIC (about 1 minute dropout every 1 minute).
It seemed as thought my problem was having the r8169 kernel module loaded as others have experienced.
I followed the instructions in this blog post, and installed the 8.035.00 drivers found on this page.
It looks like I have the r8168 module loading, however the network dropouts still occur.
This is an issue as I'm trying to set this machine up as a webserver.
Any ideas?
