Realtek 8169 NIC driver version

[dlion]

Hello lkml,

  I have read some driver codes in the Linux kernel. I noticed
that the RTL-8169 driver(r8169.c) is an older version (v1.2).
There is a newer drivers on Realtek's website. It's version
number is v1.6 , and it is really much better than v1.2. Why
not merge it into official kernel realease?
