Don't you mean "firmware" instead of "driver" ?

The Debian installer includes a free driver for some variants of the the 
RTL8111/RTL8168, called r8169. This driver is included in the mainline 
kernel. It may require non-free firmwares for some supported devices, 
but this does not prevent inclusion of the *driver* in the main 
distribution and the installer.
