This took me quite awhile to figure out so I thought I would share it
Note: I'm on a Zotac FUSION350-A-E board Runing Natty Ubuntu
While walking though Robotica's guide I noticed a couple errors:
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw for module r8169
I went about trying to find my missing firmware, better to get it taken care of before I run into a real problem I figgure.

If you have an r8168 chipset go here
Find the "8.027.00" drivers for Linux 1/2 way down the page
Download the r8168-8.027.00.tar.bz2 file to your linux box. I used a wget on my FTP server
Unpack the tarball :
Change to the directory:
If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do :
finally do another
to make sure the error goes away
reboot
