sit0 is completely unrelated, it is an IPv6 tunnel device. You need to compile the r8169 driver. Make sure CONFIG_R8169=m or y in your kernel config and try again (modprobe r8169). I have a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06), pci id 10ec:8168 on my motherboard and it works fine with the R8169 driver on kernel 3.10.9 (and has been working since at least the 3.4 series, which was when I installed this system) > > dhcp takes long and doesn't get any result. dhcpcd doesn't work either.
