Cannot get server on network with R8111G

I cannot get my new server on the network with the below PCIE card. Using the internal nic works fine however i would like to use this nic for ALB across the 4 ports. I assume its a driver issue and i see the r8169 driver is loaded however i am not sure thats even the right driver???

Thanx for the reply jonnie, its the wrong driver that is being loaded (r8169) and unraid doesnt have the correct driver (r8168) built in. I have worked on it for many days, i have finally given up and bough an intel NIC. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JLKNIW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Heres to hoping it works lol.

Intel PRO/1000 VT is the Intel 82575GB chipset under the hood. The Linux* e1000e driver supports PCI Express Gigabit Network Connections except the 82575, 82576, 82580, and I350.  Therefore i assume this card will use the e1000 driver. The e1000.x.x.x.tar.gz supports all PCI and PCI-X Intel® Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections.

 

Bottomline: I will know monday if the card works in unraid.
