Please unblock package firmware-nonfree. This includes several important fixes for network hardware: - Added firmware patches for some Realtek network controllers that allow them to work at 1G with a wider variety of cables and link partners. These patches were included in the upstream driver for a long time but were not properly licenced. Currently users may have to disable 1G operation.
