Try the 8139too driver, it works for me and I think I have the same card.  Although, its possible that the same card comes with multiple chipsets, heres from /proc/pci

Bus  0, device  18, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C (rev 16).
      IRQ 9.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
      I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xda020000 [0xda0200ff].
