I happen to have Realtek RTL8111/8168B Gigabit card which works flawlessly with any Debian kernel starting with Squeeze's backported 3.1. Every time the kernel boots it complains about missing rtl8168e-3.fw, yet everything just works™. And I don't want to load this blob into my card as it might as well setup port mirroring to the nearest NSA datacenter :) So, one may not need the firmware for the NIC even if the kernel wants it for some reason.
