It is a bit terse:
- which kernel ?
- which fix exactly (Message-Id or URL) ? The one I sent the
29 of 08/2007 or something else ?
- which chipset (lspci -vvx) ?
Fwiw, I have rediffed the patchkit against 2.6.23-rc5. See:
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20070903-2.6.23-rc5-r8169-test.patch
or:
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.23-rc5/r8169-20070903/
If you have not done so already, I would appreciate that you try
to reproduce the problem with a 1500 bytes MTU with/without the
aforementioned patch.

The 8169 will not fly above 7200, be it on Linux or Windows. :o/
