Unfortunately, I don't have the exact config where the card disappeared any more, and it now shows up but doesn't work under v2.6.23. I'll spend some time this weekend, and see if I can track down what causes it to disappear. One data point: I have a kernel v2.6.23 + patch-2.6.23-rc9-hrt1 and a custom acpi DSDT that seems to cause the device to disappear. I have now uploaded dmesg/lspci/config from v2.6.23 from a succesful boot to www.math.uwo.ca/~rprince5/r8169/ Tom
