After fussing around with installs and updates on the Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel 2.6.7.11 . I realized my Network card Realtek 8102 would no longer work afte the updates 2.6.7.11 . But on a fresh install with Kernel 2.6.7.7 it sure would .
Looking at the to be installed components I couldn't find anything that would overwrite my Realtek drivers. But indeed it must have been the Kernel itself.
So the fix for UBUNTU 8.10 if your card works in the fresh install and it don't after the update then this is what you need to do:
Edit your GRUB boot loader in Grub Editor and revert the Kernel back to 2.6.7.7 also add " noapci no acpi " in your init string.
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-7-generic root=UUID=AAAAAAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD-EEEEEEEEEEEE ro quiet noapic noacpi /boot/grub/menu.lst
