XID identifies your chipset as RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34. A recent r8169 kernel
driver would display something like :

[    x.xxxxxx] r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: RTL8168evl/8111evl at ...
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Your r8169 driver lacks support for the adequate chipset. Please try
current 3.1-rc. It should perform better.
