I am also using the D945GSEJT boardwith the R8169 and had a heck of a time getting things going. The problem is indeed in the kernel, so I installed unstable to get a version of the kernel which would support it. Your desire to avoid unstable was probably a good one, as unstable seems to be more unstable than I have experienced in the past. However I did _not_ have any problems with the installation, I used a USB stick, followed the excellent debian docs on how to use the stick as the boot device and everything went smoothly. Well, sort of smoothly, it turns out I had a bad ethernet switch, but that's a subject for a different post.
