You can't have two r8168 modules installed at the same time. Use either the in-kernel one or thebinary driver from Realtek, that's what the ebuild is checking for. For the 8168 firmware, install linux-firmware. % qlist linux-firmware | grep 8168 /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-1.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-1.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168f-2.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168f-1.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168e-1.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw -- Neil Bothwick WORM: (n.) acronym for Write Once, Read Mangled.
