FWIW, I'm having a good amount of success with the r8169 driver, for an
ethernet controller that lspci identifies as "Realtek Semiconductor Co.,
Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)"

- board is Intel D945GCLF w/ Atom @ 1.6ghz, ICH7
- OS is Ubuntu Intrepid; 
- 'uname -r' ==> "2.6.27-9-generic"
- acpid is running, apmd is disabled.

the link is stable and performance appears to be good, been running as
such since Hardy.

However, I am having one problem with it: the NIC doesn't work after a
resume from suspend. I'm not able to get any packets off the machine.
The interface comes up, everything looks good in 'ifconfig -a' ; I can
ping the interface's IP address, and 'netstat -r' looks fine. The orange
(speed/link) LED on the physical connector is lit, but the green
(activity) LED never lights. arping doesn't work either.
