[CentOS] Problem with RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet

Hi guys;
   I'm having a problem with a new pc that has an Realtec ethernet device.
Don't know why the driver is not loading and is not detected during
installation process.

I tried to load r8169.ko unsuccessfully. It load but no device is
detected. No dmesg or /var/log/message.

?Any help on how I can configure correctly this ethernet device?

This are the data that I have:

Hi ArcosCom,

We have a few boxes with this chip (running CentOS4,i386), and I'm sorry 
to say that this NIC is not supported out of the box by the included 
drivers.

We've got it running by using the 'r1000' driver, which seems to be 
Realteks own driver. I'll be happy to make the archive we have (v1.05) 
available to you if you don't find a more recent version on your own.

Yours,
-S

On my (older) Gigabyte board with a Realtek 8169 chip I see this in
"lspci -v":

01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit
Ethernet (rev 10)
        Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-8I915ME-G Mainboard

        [virtual] Expansion ROM at 50020000 [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

and "lspci -vv" shows this:

01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit

                Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

I note that mine does NOT list it (as yours does) as
"RTL-8110SC/8169SC",
but rather as "RTL-8169", so it may not be the identical chip.

I don't have any gigabit networking in the house, but it works fine (and
always has) at 10 or 100 (I've done both, currently 100).

BTW, I'm using Centos 5 fully updated.

Thanks to all.

I tried this:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=4&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

And works now.
