I ran into this myself recently, though on FreeBSD (although I would have thought linux would have it licked by now). BSD doesn't have any solution to this, even building the drivers didn't work. Realtek don't make drivers, so only 3rd parties do it. The only solution I and others have come up with is to install a supported card (rtl8139 is a nice one... :) ). There are drivers out there, but I reckon you'll have to compile and pray...
