Hi,
  I seem to be having lots of troubles with the RealTek chipsets. I have
one onboard and two PCI-e cards and they all have the same problem. They
will not transmit anything.  The r8169 driver does it, as does the 
r8168-dkms module.

It's a new setup so it might of never worked. It's not likely to be a
hardware problem as its three different devices.

I've sent what I think you might need for starters, but if there
is extra stuff you'd like to see, let me know.

I'm using a stock Debian kernel
3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.6-2 (2013-12-29)

I've included the lspci output of one of the cards below. I'm not
really sure what else you'd need to check things.

The problem shows up the same, the TX dropped counter increments.
I'm not sure why 42 packets made it out (or even if they really did)
Receive works fine, I can even start up wireshark and see packets
pass by.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:e0:4c:80:66:57  
          inet addr:192.168.1.222  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:4cff:fe80:6657/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:8252 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:8029 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:584930 (571.2 KiB)  TX bytes:5083 (4.9 KiB)

ethtool -S shows a similar story, not sure if the rx_missed counter
is another problem:
NIC statistics:
     tx_packets: 47
     rx_packets: 31342
     tx_errors: 0
     rx_errors: 0
     rx_missed: 47438
     align_errors: 0
     tx_single_collisions: 0

     unicast: 1
     broadcast: 29638
     multicast: 1891
     tx_aborted: 0
     tx_underrun: 0

I've disabled the on-board device now, but the simple lspci output was:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)

The PCI-e cards have the following:
