I also have a problem with the r8101 chipset. I get incredibly poor intermittent connectivity.
At boot the kernel loads the r8169 module and assigns it to the Ethernet port. If I do a rmmod and insmod the 8101 driver it works fine.
I have tried blacklisting the r8169 driver but it seems to have no effect.
