How do i unpack it?

Licht, what does the output of "ifconfig -a" give you?

You should never need to download a driver in Linux if it's already supported in the kernel (which the RTL8169 is)

Output included. I noticed the lights on the NIC are active occasionally, but i can't ping anything. Not local nor the web.

Edit : Why is my mask 255.0.0.0...

That's the lo (loopback) interface, and not your actual network card. It looks like you need a driver after all. Try one of these and see if any of them succeeds (success means no output):

modprobe rtl8169
modprobe r8169

Modprobe r8169 worked.

Good, you should now have an eth0 interface if you do ifconfig -a again. Now, try one of the following (at least one of them should succeed):

dhcpcd eth0
dhclient eth0

Did two tries with dhclient (dhcpcd doesn't work.) Dhclient with eth0 and dhclient with sit0 (the device listed in ifconfig -a.)

You said that modprobe r8169 worked, right? If this returns live:

Code:

cat /sys/module/r8169/initstate

What does this then return:

Code:

 ifconfig -a

Here you go.

You missed a "t" in initstate. I need to know if it's seeing the network card at all (if it's "live" then it does IIRC), because if you're modprobing it fine, then it should work without problems.
