[root at localhost] lspci -n | grep "Ethernet"

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)

[root at localhost] lspci -n | grep "03:00.0"

03:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 03)

And yes, the kmod-r8169-xen was installed somehow and has been
uninstalled cleanly. I was uninstalling kmod-r8169 instead of
kmod-r8169-xen. Sorry for not being more careful.

rpm -qa reports my installed kernel as kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.el5

kmod-r8168-xen still wont install due to kernel module dependencies.
So what next.

Thanks.
Sanjay.
