There is a gross error in the 2.6.9-rc1-mm4 version of the r8169 driver which could be related to your bug. A few patches have been posted on netdev amongst which the first should make things better (see [PATCH 2.6.9-rc1-mm4 x/4] on netdev the 10 of september 2004) Can you apply the patch below on top of 2.6.9-rc1-mm4 and report if it makes things better: http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.9-rc1-mm4/r8169/r8169-130.patch -- Ueimor
