Solved -- Help with Realtek module r8169

I am not sure if it is the wrong one, see:

The age old question: r8168 vs r8169

Hey! So, I installed a the latest Zen kernel, and after that my network did not work anymore. The kernel defaults to r8168 driver, and for some reasons it sometimes does not work with newer kernels. Usually gets resolved in a few days. But I got sick of it, and decided to uninstall r8168 and depend on the in kernel tree r8169. Are there any downsides with this driver? Because it is not the default, but at least it is in tree so it will “always” work.
