After automatic update to kernel 4.15.0-24 from 4.13 in my Ubuntu 16.04
desktop installation, the ethernet driver r8168 dissapears and the
device is not recognized by the system.
This issue appears every time my kernel is updated. I assume this is
because I installed the latest version from the vendor manually. (8.45)
It is usually solved rebuilding the driver. But with this kernel update,
now the driver update procedure fails in the compilation phase.
