This bug also affects me. My hardware is:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)

Yes, I have tried the r8168 driver from Realtek (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false), the version is 8.018.00, but it doesn't work.

My workaround:
  sudo mii-tool -R ethX

Then ethX can work at 10 Mbps, link ok.
  ethX: 10 Mbit, half duplex, link ok
