Driver bugs... r8169 needs updating.
Do you have a specific option in mind:
- simple 2.6.6 backport (no napi nor ethtool support);
- netdev backport (2.6.6 + napi)
- new wave (2.6.6 + napi + ethtool/link/TBI rework)
I prefer to have the 2.4 and 2.6 drivers as close as possible to each
other, to reduce the maintenance burden.
If the mainline r8169.c looks stable, then I would take that source and
backport it to 2.4.x.
