Package: linux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64
Version: 6.1.27-1
Currently, Debian tries to use the cdc_ncm driver with the RTL8156BG, which
fails without useful error. (ifup says the interface doesn't exist, neither
systemd nor dmesg log anything notable, ip addr reports a mac address.)
I think it's supposed to use the r8152 driver, but the magic strings to use it
are missing, and firmware-realtek might not have the correct blob.
Additional notes for this diagnostic journey can be found at
https://community.frame.work/t/responded-debian-11-ethernet-expansion-card-doesnt-work-after-install/24482/8
Based on my exploration of the kernel.org repos, this might need to be fixed by
Realtek itself.

Hi
This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.
If you can reproduce it with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
Regards,
Salvatore
