With that patch 2.6.5-rc2 + r8169 DAC compiles and works fine.

There is one problem however: If I unplug and plug the cable it does not come back to online (even the LED on the card does not glow). I did not try reloading the driver, but a reboot does fix it :-( (later today I shall try reloading the driver). OTOH the vanilla 2.6.5-rc2 (or rc3) does not show this behaviour.

As for as the stability, I have stress tested it for couple of hours and it seems to work just fine.

Thanks
Hari
