On my (older) Gigabyte board with a Realtek 8169 chip I see this in
"lspci -v":
01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-8I915ME-G Mainboard

[virtual] Expansion ROM at 50020000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
and "lspci -vv" shows this:

I note that mine does NOT list it (as yours does) as "RTL-8110SC/8169SC",
but rather as "RTL-8169", so it may not be the identical chip.
I don't have any gigabit networking in the house, but it works fine (and
always has) at 10 or 100 (I've done both, currently 100).
BTW, I'm using Centos 5 fully updated.
