Re: RTL8111 Networking Drivers

The reason that Debian does not include the drivers for RTL8111 in whichever
installer you used (you do not say which it was) will be that RTL8111
requires a non-free driver and Debian includes only free software by default.

Don't you mean "firmware" instead of "driver" ?

The Debian installer includes a free driver for some variants of the the RTL8111/RTL8168, called r8169. This driver is included in the mainline kernel. It may require non-free firmwares for some supported devices, but this does not prevent inclusion of the *driver* in the main distribution and the installer.
