There is/has been a conflict with the 8169 driver and some 8168 
devices.  In many cases, the kernel 8169 driver will load but not work 
with the device. That may now have been corrected so the module does not 
load for the device. If this is the case, you need the out of tree 
module at http://code.google.com/p/r8168/ or
