LAN problems, setting up r8168 driver

When I compile the latest Realtek driver for the Realtek rtl8101E chipset, I get an error saying that there is no devide on eth0. It is however listed on lsmod. Would there be any reason for this?

I've blacklisted r8169 but I cannot load r8168 for some reason. Could anyone help me to load the module correctly and get connectivity?

After loading the module in I do not get any eth0 interface why would this be?

Your dmesg might have a hint or two...
