Francois Romieu posted a patch yesterday (today, his time) to the thread
"r8169 chips on some Intel D945GSEJT boards fail to work after PXE boot"

It looks to add MAC support for your card; you should be able to find it

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/

Please test that and let us know how it works.
