I am sorry it is not working now but before. I mean suddenly it is happening. I have restored the working state using rescuezilla but not working now. I have tried your command and blacklist the driver but still not working.
I'm sorry, but the image you show doesn't list r-8169 as blacklisted. As long as the 8169 is in use, the 8168 won't be loaded. The only commands i have was to install 8168, which your system already has.
This could be a failing wifi adapter. I'm dealing with the same issue with a Realtek card.
the first image shows selected as "blacklist 8169". if I am wrong, how can I blacklist that driver?
Edit that file to include a line that says "blacklist r8169" and reboot.
It will be forced to use the next available compatible driver, the 8168
i don't understand but I have done it. where is the problem?
In terminal you had typed: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and added "blacklist r8169"? It's a system file and must have admin permissions to edit. Otherwise it gives you an error because it's read only.
