i ended up running ubuntu 18.04.
the last line of `lspci` gives the following;

i guess i was wrong, it isn't a r8169.
The firmware-atheros non-free package
(https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-atheros) should contain
the drivers/blobs needed for your Wi-Fi adapter. If you have network
connectivity, you can just enable the non-free section and install the
package.
The default Debian ISO doesn't ship with non-free firmware/driver blobs
any more. But there are unofficial ISO images provided by the project
which contain those built-in. See
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/9.6.0+nonfree/.
So you can also use these ISO images.
thanks for that guruprasad, appreciate your mail.
