Bug Description

Clean Ubuntu 12.10 installed from Image without any updates.

Problem: No network connection

Netcard: Realtek RTL8168/8111E

Loaded driver/module: r8169.

A search for this problem suggest blacklisting the drier r8169 and manually installing the r8168 driver.

Is is possible to include both driver in the Image so when a RTL8168/8111E card is detected is use the old driver/module instead of the new one, so users installing 12.10 with this card has network out of the box ?
