"The Intel D945GSEJT mainboard ships with a RealTek rtl8168d network card,
which wasn't supported before kernel 2.6.31. Be aware that starting with
Debian's kernel 2.6.32, you'll need a binary firmware as well 
(rtl8168d-1.fw and rtl8168d-2.fw), which are not available yet."


Googling for "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B" returns a bunch 
of messages.

Extract for some answers:
- Lenny load the right driver, but it doesn't work very well.
- update the kernel to 2.6.28
- see comment 21 on this bug ubuntu bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/141343
- step by step for a past ubuntu version, but might help you (to do in chroot)

1 - Downloaded current driver from :
 http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false
 2 - Unpacked on the Desktop
 3 - $ sudo mv r8168-8.004.00 /usr/src
 4 - $ cd /usr/src/r8168-8.004.00
 5 - $ sudo make clean modules
 6 - $ sudo make install
 7 - $ sudo depmod -a
 8 - $ sudo insmod ./src/r8168.ko
 9 - $ lsmod -a | grep 8186 #just to check it was there
 10 - $ cd /etc/modprobe.d
 11 - $ sudo touch blacklist-network
 12 - $ vi blacklist-network # add "blacklist r8169" to the file
 13 - $ sudo update-initramfs -u #to make the change permanent
 14 - reboot
 15 - ethtool -i eth0 #to see new driver assigned


Aloso  lots of bug reports by googling on bugs.debian.org with
"Realtek RTL8111/8168B  lenny site:bugs.debian.org"
