If i apply only these patch, everything goes fine

r8169-dma-api-tx.patch
r8169-dma-api-rx-buffers.patch
r8169-dma-api-tx-buffers.patch
r8169-rx_copybreak.patch
r8169-mac-phy-version.patch
r8169-init_one.patch
r8169-timer.patch
r8169-hw_start.patch
r8169-intr_mask.patch
r8169-suspend.patch
r8169-endianness.patch
r8169-getstats.patch

if i apply

r8169-addr-high.patch, 

then i can ping myself, but i can't ping the rest of the world. 
and, even if i put back my previous correct working driver, 
i can't make it work right => reboot.

nothing realy interesting in the logfiles.

Did you stress the driver, say (rsync), ping -f -s 8, ttcp ?

I tested with unison, ping -f -s 8
as did a friend with the same hardware.

My kernel : 2.6.3 + patched driver ( except the last 3 patch )
My friend : a stock 2.6.4-mm1 kernel.

everything goes fine.

my friend told me something about the io/schedulers as a source 
of instability .. i'm investigatng.
