Yes, thanks.

The r8169 driver has been added a few bugfixes between 2.6.21-rc5 and now.
Some are related to latent, timing changes induced bugs.

Stephen, would you mind testing 2.6.21 and open a PR at bugzilla.kernel.org

Bugzilla e-mails end directly in my mailbox. l-k traffic can be temporarily
