I tried after installing upstream kernel, and the error is the same:
j.calero@pckoon:~/Downloads/r8168-8.045.08$ sudo ./autorun.sh
[sudo] password for j.calero:
Check old driver and unload it.
Build the module and install

Title:
Realtek Ethernet driver lost after update to kernel 4.15.0-24
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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.
