Thanks so very much.
Ok so i'll give anyone the solution to it.
These are the steps I followed for r1000 v1.04
I copied the r1000 files into /root/r1000
such that I had /root/r1000/src/..... files
and /root/r1000Makefile
I edited /root/src/Ma

r1000 was only supported by Ubuntu from the distros I tried (mentioned above).
(By the way, thought windows says RTL8139/R810x, it is most likely not an RTL8139, or it would use the RTL8139 specific driver, and linux detects that well.)
I downloaded the latest source for the R1000 drivers from Realtek, which required some editing before getting to work, here is how:

I copied the r1000 files into /root/r1000
such that I had /root/r1000/src/..... files
and /root/r1000/Makefile
I edited /root/src/Makefile_linux26x
and changed
include $(PWD)/src/Makefile_linux26x
to
include /root/r1000/src/Makefile_linux26x
then I edited /root/r1000/src/r1000_n.c (thanks to dotato)
and changed the 3 lines startting with MODULE_PARM to MODULE_PARM_DESC
as root I wrote
make clean modules
make install
depmod -a (no idea what it does but it was in the readme)
then I ran r1000.
Started up SuSE's YaST, went to 'view hardware'
Closed it.
Opened up Netword Devices (still in YaST) and there was my NIC ready for configuration!!!
Joy oh joy!
It finally works.
Once you get the driver installed, it works well, Don't know why r1000 was not included with any of those Distros except Ubuntu.
