Thank you so much guys for the information. Yes, that can be an alternative, yet installing the driver manually is not so good in my opinion.
That is because one advantage of using Ubuntu is that it is much more convenient and easier to use than MS Windows I think. However, if we need to install the network card driver manually, by definition, it is very annoying and inconvenient, and therefore this also means losing that advantage of using Ubuntu. In addition, the manual install is not as easy as double clicking deb package file, and we need to repeat this whenever a new kernel is released. As we all know, Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron has got three times of the kernel update since it was released. I really hope the developers of Ubuntu will solve this problem soon... In the meantime, yes, after all, I installed the 8168 driver just like some others, yet I took an easy way which is using the installation script, provided by Jameson Williams. The following is the URL to find it. http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html It works fine now after installing it, and I hope the link above can help others.
