These NICs should be well supported in recent kernels. Make sure that you have 
the firmware-realtek package installed. If the firmware for your NIC is 
missing from firmware-realtek (rtl8402-1.fw and rtl8411-1.fw currently) get it 
from 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git;a=tree;f=rtl_nic;h=433ba2c0164f9809221d969d3d60e605575790fc;hb=HEAD, 
and copy to /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/.

Hope this helps.
