Installation - Network RTL8111/8168 - no interface

Hello,

I'm trying to install Arch Linux, using the latest testing snapshot (archlinux-2011.11.17_04-00-02-netinstall-x86_64.iso).
The system boots up fine, but there's no network connection/interfaces

System Specs:
ASRock Z68 PRO3-M LGA 1155 motherboard
I7-2600K CPU
Network: Onboard RL8111E

==========
lspci:
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)

==========
dhcpcd:
dhcpcd: no valid interfaces found
dhcpcd: no interfaces have a carrier
dhcpcd: forked to background, child pid 944
==========

Installation tells me to configure Network, please help.

PS: After extensive googling, it seems like this is an OLD error, from 2010 or even older and somehow made into Kernel 3.0*?

If you are on the current 3.1 kernel, the standard r8169 driver should work. If your kernel is 3.0 or older, you will need to install driver r8168, which can be found in the AUR.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
