I already have non-free in my sources.list.Debian 11 Bullseye Non-Free Sources List
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
Also if you have Synaptic Package Manager installed you can search for r8168-dkms - some reviews I have seen said it helped
Seems that Buster was the last release of it - https://packages.debian.org/buster/all/r8168-dkms/download not listed under Bullseye - Debian must have truncated it - but it is listed in UbuntuWell I looked for 8168-dkms in Synaptic and it was not listed.

Well, trying to install the r8168.deb pkg didn't go well.

Good Catch when I type it in Debian search it came back with nothing for Bullseye only Buster and earlier versions and it did not show up in Synaptic Manager either - see posts #27- #28 - but it does show up in Ubuntu repositories through Synaptic - go figure
Then I do not know why it does not show for Alexzee unless when he added the non-free to his repos he did not update it - I just assumed he did after he put them inShows in Synaptic here for me.
