How can I replace the stock driver module inside a Linux ISO?

In particular, I want to replace the stock network drivers (r8169) with something else (r8168) in the installation ISO. Is this possible? Currently, I have to install Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS (same problem with the driver in all distros) first, and then install the correct network driver, add it to the kernel and then blacklist the old one. I would like to avoid this long winded process if possible. Hopefully, there's a way to do this on Windows (Understandably, I don't want to boot into the Linux installation without a working internet connection). Isn't there a way to do this from within Windows? For example, by opening up the iso files and replacing the stock driver module... Where are the network drivers located within the ISO?
