Actually, what I had installed was r8168. But neither of the two appeared 
in the lsmod list. 

I ran modprobe r8168, which says "FETAL: Module r8168 not found". Running 
modprobe rr8169 gave no response at all, which sounded better, and r8169 
does appear in the lsmod list; it has "0" users. The network, is still 
unreachable, even after reboot.
