RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)The Realtek RTL8111/8168 is one of those network controllers for which there is a firmware package. I'm not sure if the device will work without it, but if you're experiencing issues (which you are), you might try providing the installer with the firmware. Instructions for doing so can be found here <https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware#Firmware_during_the_installation>.
Well, have you tried this yet: <quote from the above link> Firmware during the installation (...)Before starting the installation process on hardware unfamiliar to you, a suggestion is to download the firmware tarball for your installation and unpack it into a directory named "firmware" in the root of a removable storage device. When the installer starts, it will automatically find the firmware files in the directory on the removable storage and, if needed, install the firmware for your hardware. The link to the firmware download for your Debian version is http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/.
