Re: [Fwd: rtl8169 driver from realtek]

[Han Boetes <han@mijncomputer.nl>]

Here we go again. This is with the normal kernel-driver. It works
fine. Obviously I did something else wrong and drew the wrong
conclusion. Excuse me for that.

Heavy stress-tests work fine with this driver!

Please let me know if you want to test new patches based on stuff you
found in the realtek driver.
