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

There are a few (hopefully) harmless things in the local queue that I'd
appreciate to go mainline before the second round of r8169 changes.
The patches are diffed against 2.6.5-rc2-mm5 and should apply cleanly to
the -netdev serie.

- r8169-ethtool-introduction.patch
- r8169-missing-static.patch
- r8169-maintainer.patch
- r8169-dma-api-update.patch

Despite its limited performance, #3/4 does not work too bad.

The patch I provided today on l-k includes a small change which could
improve performance. If Daniel Egger is satisfied with it, a patch for
the adequate changes will follow.
