Ethernet - need driver for realtek rtl 8111c/d Gigabyte MB

I've installed several Zorin 12's
This one - is to a gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L main board computer (old xp system)
The mfg does NOT have linux drivers at their website - just windows.
The ethernet adapter is a realtek RTL 8111C/D (L) per the mfg (gigabyte).

I don't know how to get this one going.

Where and How to I get the driver - and how do I install it if its available

Thanks

Hi, try the adviosries in this article:

Thats odd, in my experience Zorin automatically installs a needed driver to use the ethernet card, the one you attach the ethernet cable to. Usually most people including myself run into needing a driver for the wireless card. Please keep us updated, as I am interested to know the outcome if you get it fixed. Thankyou!

Hi star treker, it isn't odd - there have been other forum members in the past with the exact same issue, but not necessarily the same card:
