When you write below about 'the patch' and 'the list,' can you be a bit more specific, particularly about which list you posted it to? Also, I think Kasper's question below related to, was the patch you used to fix your 8169 issues now part of rc9, or is it still independent of the main tree? For those like me not used to be bleeding edge, its cleaner to just snag the rc candidate than to try the hand patch method. Any insight you can offer is appreciated.
