I was able to get this to work with problems with the r8169 driver provided with the kernel by adding “select MII” to the Kbuild file in drivers/net/Kconfig under the R8169 driver. However, the RX dropped rate skyrocketed. I was able to get it normal by installing the realtek drivers from here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
