###### Debian Main Repos /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

aptitude install pve-headers-`uname -r`
You may have to search suitable pve-headers version and install it manually.
apt-cache search pve-headers
apt-get install pve-headers-4.4.15-1-pve
After installing the driver, update the module dependencies.
depmod -a
First the r8169 network driver needs to be blocked, so as to prevent the kernel from loading it. Note: If additional NICs are installed in the server, the driver must not be blocked.
echo "blacklist r8169" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Next, the kernel must be forced to include the driver in the initrd. This also ensures that if additional NICs have been installed the new r8168 module is loaded before the r8169 module.
echo "r8168" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
Afterwards the initrd will be rebuilt.
update-initramfs -v -t -u
Now you can reboot the server.
