AFAIK Dustin Howett has some pending changes to the rtl8169 driver that
adds support for this chipset.
In any case, if you have ruled out a problem on the Haiku side (best by
enabling debug output in the lower layers, like ethernet or ARP), you
could check if the driver believes to have send the packet, or if there
was some kind of error that prevented it from doing so.
Last but not least, it might also be helpful to see if your router
shows any sign of activity when pinging from the Haiku machine. Oh, and
looking at the ARP cache (using the "arp" command) might be helpful,
too (but also only if you only try to reach the other machine from your
Haiku machine, not vice versa).
HTH.
