[Bug 534536] [NEW] Lacking support for RTL8101E/RTL8102E [10ec:8136] rev 02

[epek]

Public bug reported:

On all official karmic kernel series, the widely spread (Intel 945GCLF Mainboard) networking chipset RTL8101E/RTL8102E will not be recognized automatically. Neither do 8139too/cp nor r8169 recognize it.
The only solution so far is to download and compile Realtek´s r8102 driver [1] and compile it.

I plea for integration of this driver in this and upcoming linux-images in karmic and lucid. Accordning to the driver´s header files, the driver is GPLed/2+.
Alternative: integration of fixes in r8169.
