Problems while installing and compiling a driver for Realtek 8168

I also have that problem.
The kernel-devel package is installed.
When I run 'make clean modules' I get the following error:
<path to package>/r2000_v1.04/src/r1000_n.c:51 error: expected ')' 
before string constant
 From my point of view, it looks like the code isn't written propperly...
