Solution​

#Add the non-free repo
nano /ect/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free

# Run apt update, install the package, and reboot.
apt update
apt install r8168-dkms -y
reboot now

This worked well for me. Your mileage may vary.

Other Solution - Don't use Realtek NICs.
