CentOS docs - Oct 2007 - r8169 Update

Bill, your CentOS 5 RTL8110 page should probably be updated. I've confirmed
that there's a newer r8169 driver in the kernel that works with the RTL8110.
RealTek's web site now carries the new r8169 instead of the r1000.

The newer driver fixed a problem I was having on one host so we should
probably recommend it over the older r1000.

I've updated my CentOS 4 page.

After removing the r1000 driver and rebooting to kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14,
my realtek does not work using the r8169 module.
