Hi

I did search the archives, but it does seem to be the new one. r8169
network driver introduced in 2.6.19-rcX a set_mac_address function, which
doesn't work for me. It should resolve the bugreport
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6032 but, as you see from the
last comment from the original reporter and from my following comment, it
doesn't seem to. I think, it should either be fixed or reverted. My
test-system, was a ppc NAS (KuroboxHG):
