Acked-by: as your patch ties it to a specific 8168 revision (CFG_METHOD_6
in Realtek's parlance).
Surprizing as it may seem, unconditionaly enabling it has not always
produced the expected result. See 53f57357ff0afc37804f4e82ee3123e0c0a2cad6
for instance. Realtek's r1868 driver ignores it most of time as well.
Was it normal high-load or pktgen like high load ?
