What exactly is the vendor and the device ID of this NIC? (check the
output of "lspci -nn")
The only Realtek 8168 that I can find in /usr/share/misc/pci.ids has
[10ec:8168] and is listed in my modules.alias as being supported by the
r8169 driver.
What happens if you try to "modprobe r8169" with the installer? (If I
remember correctly, you can switch to a command prompt at any time with
CTRL-ALT-F2.) Also check the output of dmesg after the modprobe.
