I had the same problem after updating my ubuntu server (8.04) to the newest. Then the problems started.
It took me several months to find this posting.
I use samba on my server (software raid) and can confirm that the latest river from realtek works. It unloads the one in the kernel (size 84022) and replaces it with a newer one (size 203096) after compilation. I have not yet rebooted since my raid is being rebuild because of another crash due to this faulty nic driver.

It is about time Ubuntu puts this driver in the distributions...
