Good diagnosis, bad solution. You don't need to recompile the kernel to fix a bad network driver.

A) Load whatever kernel you want
b) Download the r8168 drivers from here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langi d=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTy peID=3&GetDown=false
c) compile/install the drivers with autorun.sh
d) cd to /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/drivers/net
e) add r8169 to /etc/modprobe.d/blackist.conf
f) Reboot

I believe all Linux kernels come with the r8169 driver for both the r8168 and r8169 cards but they don't work well on the r8168. It's very well documented.

There is no need to recompile the kernel to change NIC drivers any more. Not for the Realtek, not for Intel, etc.

I hope this helps.
