Re: r8169 and 2.4.26 finally working

Johannes Petersson [off-list ref] :
[...]

The patches were tried one at a time to the vanilla sources for the 
2.4.26 kernel. The 2.4.26-r8169.c-stable.patch gave the usual error
about not beeing able to patch the file completely when I applied it to
the kernel source.

[...]

The only patched that actually applied without any problems to the 
kernel was the 20040504-2.4.27-pre1-r8169.c-test.patch from Francois. At

that time I had some hope. But while compiling the kernel with the 
2.4.27-pre1-r8169 patch I got the following compile errors when I issued
"make bzImage":
Implicit declaration of netdev_priv

This function requires at least a 2.4.27-pre1 kernel.

Please try a 2.4.27-pre1 kernel or apply the following patch to your
2.4.26 tree before/after 20040504-2.4.27-pre1-r8169.c-test.patch
