ubuntu network with p8p67 motherboard (rtl8111e LAN)

Got new motherboard: asus p8p67 with realtek 8111e Gigabit LAN controller. On ubuntu the network works ugly - sometimes it doesn't connect to google and some other sites.

The problem is that ubuntu loads wrong driver for the network - r8169 instead of r8168. The solution is to download correct driver from realtek website and use it.
