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
