I seem to have resolved this issue by installing the alternate kernel
module for this chip set available from elrepo.
# /sbin/lspci -nn | grep -i net
. . .
01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev
03)
. . .
# /sbin/lspci -n | grep '01:00.0'
01:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 03)
Using the the device id (10ec:8168) to search:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs
shows that this matches:
r8168.ko
pci 10EC:8168 kmod-r8168
# yum whatprovides kmod-r8168
. . .
kmod-r8168-8.031.00-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 : r8168 kernel module(s)
Repo : elrepo
Matched from:
. . .
# yum install kmod-r8168
. . .
