    kernel: load r8169 network module at boot time
    
    This allows the network interface naming to be stable, free from any
    possible interaction from external USB network devices that might
    claim usb* interface names.
    
    (This was a real problem I encountered with a nanopi R6S device and
    an external rtl8152 usb3 network controller - the USB controller would
    claim the eth1 name, causing much confusion).
