TLDR: Details below
Got new hardware (a graphics card) and had all kinds of trouble installing it. Kubuntu 15.04 was a bit too buggy with lots of crashes for me so I decided to try 14.04 LTS instead. Did a fresh install and had the same issues I did last time...no wired connection.
I am able to get my wireless connection working. And I followed the same steps as last time. The issue now seems to be that blacklisting r8169 doesn't work. And Kubuntu randomly decides if it wants to start with network-manager running or not. I have a 50% chance of it being "on" when I reboot/restart. If it isn't started is just run
and it comes right up and I connect through wireless.
So, I have installed r8168-dkms (through synaptic) and blacklisted r8169. But every time I reboot, it shows that r8169 is active.
blacklist.conf (blacklisted r8169 at bottom of conf)
And my lspci -v
cat /etc/network/interfaces
As I stated before, r8168-dkms is isntalled. And I have rebooted, powered off, unplugged the ethernet cord from back of pc, restarted modem and removed all power sources from PC and router/modem (router and modem is a combo unit).

Downloaded drivers from realtek's websitehere (LINUX driver for kernel 3.x and 2.6.x and 2.4.x). Started Konsole (terminal). Changed directory to where I downloaded and ran ./autorun.sh, then restarted.
