That made the modules without errors. There are two warning messages that I assume are expected, indicating that some facility is not supported by the driver:
r8168_n.c.:526: warning: 'rtl8168_ocp_gphy_read' defined but not used r8168_n.c.5292: warning: 'rtl8168_reinit_task' defined but not used
The rest of the compilation finished, apparently in good order. <lsmod | grep r8186> seems to have found the installed driver.
But <ifconfig -a>, according to the instructions, was expected to include in its response a line about eth0, but there is no such thing in its two paragraph, which seem otherwise to be in order.
Also worrying is that I now notice in Network Settings/Overview that in the lower window the name of the Ethernet card is followed by "(no hwinfo)"
I've configured the Network Settings in YaST.
In the network card settings under the hardware tab, which driver does it show? If not the rtl8168 then change it to be so. After saving your changes you might have to run (as root) rcnetwork restart. Past that if you still have problems it will be beyond my help.
