Hi

I have applied the patch and my system is now stable even when heavy network
traffic appears. I enabled NAPI for the card. The network througput is still
a bit low (~12MB/s) but I guess this is due to the unpatched endpoint which
is also rtl8169 because bonnie told me both harddrives of the computers are
capable of more than that.
System temperature dropped by 13° (from 55°) when idle for those interested in
test results.

Thanx for help

Jens
