Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.27
I'm running a server which uses the Intel D510MO Fanless Dual Core Atom Mini-ITX Board. I initially installed Lenny and everything worked well, but decided to do a fresh install of Squeeze beta which is using kernel 2.6.32-5-686.
During the installation of Squeeze there is a message saying that the firmware rtl8168d-1.fw is needed. As I had downloaded the Squeeze CD, I ignored it and continued, thinking I'd be able to install firmware-linux-nonfree afterwards to fix the problem. The information in bug report 561309 didn't fix the problem, and 564628 seems to apply to RTL8168D, whereas the output of lspci (see below) lists my network card as RTL8168B.
I've included output from various commands to help with debugging. After running these commands, as after the server has finished booting, there is no eth0 device listed in the output of ifconfig.
Dmesg output during boot:
udev[76]: starting version 163
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
r8169 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

There are no pauses in the process, and immediately after this (0.01s) usbcore messages begin.
Lspci -nn output:

This doesn't include output related to non-ethernet devices.
modprobe output:
The following output is from dmesg after running 'modprobe -r r8169; modprobe r8169':

This last line doesn't appear during boot.
