It is possible that the Realtek NIC is not yet supported by the kernel.

What you can try, if using another non NIC is not an option (at least during initial installation), is to first install a base Debian. The Debian installer should work without a network present. Then get drivers for that NIC installed and once network connectivity is given, you can install PVE on top of Debian

Edit: made the answer a bit clearer
