[Bug 860067] [NEW] Initramfs possibly missing firmware module for rtl 8169 nic

[Matt Eskes]

Public bug reported:

While updating initfs-tools, I saw this error reported upon generation
of the new ramdisk. I didn't initially notice anything weird since I
rarely use my ethernet connection on this system. Feel free to email me
if you would like more info.
