Subject: missing rtl8168d-1.fw causing 2 minute boot delay

I'm having problems with my home server. Basically it stalls for two minutes 
looking for a firmware file that doesn't seem to exist anywhere on the 
internet. just references on the debian mailing lists saying they don't have 
permission to distribute the firmware.

[   66.376056] eth0: unable to apply firmware patch

It's obviously non-fatal, but its also very annoying. Is there a way I can 
get rid of this 2 minute delay?
