NIC driver issues

[soulxflare]

I just bought a brand new HP Slimline s5150t desktop, but am having issues with network connectivity. The embedded NIC card is a RealTek 8111DL and it looks like the appropriate driver is "r8168". Any help to getting this driver correctly installed would be very much appreciated.

As always, thanks in advance!

After some digging/poking around, I managed to get the full hardware name of the NIC card.

It is a RealTek RTL8111/8168B Gigabit ethernet controller. Still haven't gotten it to work, but I'm hoping this is the first step towards getting a driver (preferrably 64 bit) for the NIC.
