Hi Leann, just FYI, I sent a report of my problem (same as in comment 31) and after verifying which specific RTL8168 chipset I had, suggested I try a 3.2 RC kernel. I did so, using the RC7 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2-rc7-precise/, and this problem has been fixed completely, as far as I can tell. This bodes well for Precise.

In short, for my variant of the problem involving an RTL8168C, 3.1 works better than 3.0 and 3.2 works even better than 3.1.
