I have same NIC and the official Realtek driver works great. I use 2.0.6 which is made for 10.7+, but am sure they have a SL version too.

Can you post the links please to the official drivers ?
Many thanks for your replies.

Tried this same disconnection problem

If you yet not tried official release then try it - http://www.realtek.c...3&GetDown=false .

And if not work you should go for manual config. -

Systemconfiguration -> Network -> Ethernet -> more options -> Hardware:

Configuration: manual

Speed: 10baseT/UTP

Duplex: Fullduplex

MTU: Standard (1500)

Actually you have specified download link for PCI Express whereas my network card is PCI.Will there be any difference ? Also the download links for mac is not working.All the links under "MacOS 10.6 on Intel-based Mac computer".If you got a copy please attach it
Thank you

Their links never work. They do work, but are so slow that computer thinks access is denied. Which boggles the mind since they make NIC's and have the worst servers in the world. Keep trying a million times and eventually the download will work. Only native kexts are for very only OSX though and probably not 64bit

This Realtek 8139 card seems it cannot find a fully working kext (atleast for me) so i ordered a Netgear GA311 as suggested by verdant.
Thanks all
