Unix & Linux: Debian stretch failed to load firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw (-2)


The Question: I'm getting this error in Debian stretch during the boot process
[ 26.390311] r8169 0000:03:00.0: firmware: failed to load rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw
(-2)
After that I continues the boot and works fine. Is there any firmware or driver
missing?
