How do lspci and dmesg report the chip? For mine, lspci says it's a
"RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)" while
the kernel reports "RTL8168c/8111c at 0xffffc200000f6000,
00:1c:c0:b6:1a:4a, XID 3c4000c0".

This reminds me of the early ATA/USB bridges from Genesys Logic... many
revisions, and each one broken in a different way. :-(
