Following a tip from news://de.comp.os.unix.linux.misc, I tried various kernel parameters, and *for me* it seems to be an ACPI bug. With the parameter "pci=nomsi", my Realtek RTL8111/8168B network adapter now works under both Hardy and Intrepid.
Please tell if this helps you also or if there are different bugs leading to a nonfunctioning Realtek network adapter.
I have a solution :-)
