See the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b

You can also try the dkms-r1000 driver from rpmforge;
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B
yum install kernel-devel dkms dkms-r1000

Note if the dkms-r1000 driver from rpmforge does not work then grab the dkms-r1000.spec file and edit for the newer Realtek r8169 driver found here(choose one all are direct links):

ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/nic/r8169-6.005.00.tar.bz2
ftp://61.56.86.122/cn/nic/r8169-6.005.00.tar.bz2
ftp://152.104.238.19/cn/nic/r8169-6.005.00.tar.bz2

An example modified from the rpmforge the dkms-r1000.spec file (rename to dkms-r8169.spec);

Kenny,

There are two other pieces of information that will be useful to know. What is output by:

uname -rm and also lspci -v

Just copy a paste the relevant section relating to your NIC from the output of the last command.

Alan.

EDIT: I see that Lenard has given you comprehensive details. You can ignore the above . . .
