When "inxi -Nazy" returns: driver: N/A modules: r8168

This worked:
appending " contrib non-free" to the deb and deb-src lines which ended with "bookworm main" (bookworm=Deb.12) inside "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and then

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install r8168-dkms


it caused "Installing to /lib/modules/6.1.0-26-amd64/updates/dkms/" and "inxi -Nazy" started showing "driver: r8168 v: 8.051.02-NAPI" and the network connectivity started working for that interface.
