OK. Based on
https://h-node.org/ethernetcards/view/en/315/Realtek-Semiconductor-Co---Ltd--RTL8111-8168B-PCI-Express-Gigabit-Ethernet-controller--rev-06-/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef/8168

wonder why firmware for 8168 from non-free package is used…

Thanks a lot for the Ring link…I was totally unaware of it. :-(
