Hi, are you successfull in installing the above mentioned LAN driver for realtek r8168? Can you please let me know? I am successfull in installing it, but the card is not recognized still. In the next step, when I try insmode ./src/r8168.ko , an error is coming "error inserting './src/r8168.ko': -1 Invalid module format"

Anybody can help me pls?
