I just tested it. It fails.

after a few unloads/loads the lspci -x output is garbled again. the
funny thing is (i have a dual nic board) its random which one that
breaks..

Francois, i tested your patch,
http://userweb.kernel.org/~romieu/r8169/2.6.26-rc9/20080710-r8169-test.patch against .26 and it WORKS. with all the other tests i've done, ~5 unloads/loads is more than enough to trigger it, i just did 50 on your patch, and it functions.

Now i can have both msi and apic on.. Thanks alot.

Do you have plans to get this merged?
