So As I found later after great communication with realtek technical support RTL8101E/RTL8102E is wired card. I managed to install new driver that can be found here:

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/dow...etDown=false#7

I manged to installed driver using these commands in terminal:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo -E make clean modules
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a

I blacklisted r8169 (sudo rmmod r8169) and loaded r8101 (sudo modprobe r8101). Here is very nice tutorial :

My wifi card is RTL8192E WLAN. The driver can be downloaded from rapid (just 10 times), so write me if u will need it.

I installed it as follow (according to readme.txt):

0. Change to Super User
sudo su

1. Build up the drivers from the source code
make

2. Install the driver to the kernel
make install
reboot

3. bring up wlan if nic
ifconfig wlan0 up

My thanks belongs to great Realtek technician support :h
