Should *work out of box. By work, I mean recognize, connect, etc. though it uses the r8169 module and thus the connection is off and on. r8168 can be found in the [Official Repositories] and should be used for a reliable connection. Blacklist r8169, if r8168 is not automatically loaded by udev add it to your list of user specified modules.
