hello,
I've got a Toshiba A110-262 which comes with an 10ec:8136 ethernet chip,
which turns out to be an Realtek 8101E. Seems no in-kernel driver covers
such chips yet.
Realtek offers the GPL'd driver r1000, v1.04 at present, but seems it's not
compatible with current 2.6.x kernel at the module param interface.
I've pushed Realtek src in-tree after applying the attached patches. The
r1000 driver now compiles and WFM fine for .16.28, .17.13, .18-rc6-git3.
Hope this helps make them into .18.

+ ---help---
+ Say Y here if you have a Realtek LAN chip of the family below.
+
+ E.g. the 810x may be identified as 'Unknow device 8136' as
+ of 2.6.18-rc6, with PCI_ID=10ec:8136, on recent (as of Aug 2006)
+ Toshiba laptops.
+
+ Also, this r1000 may be a better (it's newer at least) choice
+ for RTL8169 as well than r8169 above.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+ will be called r1000. This is recommended.
+
+ == Most relevant excerpt from original README ==
+ Chips supported:
+ 1. RTL8169S/SB/SC (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI interface)
+ 2. RTL8168B (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI-Express interface)
+ 3. RTL8101E (Fast Ethernet with PCI-Express interface)
+
+ Advanced feature:
+
+ - Supports Jumbo Frame
+ - Hardware Tx/Rx flow control
+
+ Force the link status when insert the driver.
+ If the user is in the path ~/r1000, the link status can be
+ forced to one of the 5 modes as following command.
+
+ #insmod ./src/r1000.ko speed=SPEED_MODE duplex=DUPLEX_MODE
+ autoneg=NWAY_OPTION
+
+ where
+ SPEED_MODE = 1000 for 1000Mbps
+ = 100 for 100Mbps
+ = 10 for 10Mbps
+ DUPLEX_MODE = 0 for half-duplex
+ = 1 for full-duplex
+ NWAY_OPTION = 0 for auto-negotiation off
+ = 1 for auto-negotiation on
+
+ Force the link status by using ethtool:
+
+ #ethtool -s eth? speed SPEED_MODE duplex DUPLEX_MODE
+ autoneg NWAY_OPTION
+
+ where
+ SPEED_MODE = 1000 for 1000Mbps
+ = 100 for 100Mbps
+ = 10 for 10Mbps
+ DUPLEX_MODE = half for half-duplex
+ = full for full-duplex
+ NWAY_OPTION = off for auto-negotiation off
