OK, I'd definitely try reseating the card and if you still get no joy 
I'd swap it out for a replacement.

kmod-r8168 is the correct driver for this device. If you'd like to try 
the updated driver from elrepo, just install kmod-r8168 and reboot.

lsmod should then show r8168 in use and not the native kernel driver 
r8169. Many have found this driver to be more reliable than the native 
kernel driver, assuming the hardware isn't defective.

Hope that helps.
