OnBoard LAN and module issues


Hi folks,

I just upgraded lenny 2.6.21-686 to 2.6.22-686 kernel and of course some of my modules failed after reboot. That wouldn't be much of a problem, as it was expected, but my onboard LAN module also failed which makes it impossible for me to update all the others.
The board I'm using is an "Asus P5KPL-VM Mainboard" with a "PCIe Gb LAN" LAN adapter. My PC is pretty new and during first installation a friend gave me the source for the module. My problem is, that I don't recall the mod-name and by that cannot get and compile it for the new kernel. Can anyone suggest how and where to start looking for any mod's in general (and for this LAN adapter in specific)?
I already tried to google a way out, but wasn't successful so far, so any help is deeply appreciated.

You have a Realtek RTL8101E 10/100 LAN chipset as network card.
Realtek has it's own set of drivers on it's site.

Try their site.

Also this link might give you some more info. Note: the reply is usefull, but so is the post!
