works fine for me, even with jumbo packets:

5.0.0:	net  02.00.00 10ec/8168  10 0:0000d801 256 2:feaff004 4096 3:00000000 16
	Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 Gigabit Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0)

i'm too lazy to check if it's exactly a 8111c, but i've never
had trouble with realtek 8169-style controllers.

Hello,

I tried 8111C on GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L,
but the controller did not work for me.
I don't know if recent driver works.
Additional information welcome.

i am running a slightly different driver than the one
on sources.  (i just put it in /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/ether8169.c).

i never had any trouble with the driver at all.  the differences
are due to some changes i needed to make to support jumbo
frames.  i used the linux driver for comparison.  one or two
of the sources driver's registers may be slightly misset, maybe
this driver will work for you (modulo did).
