[PATCH 2.6.9-rc2-mm1 1/1] r8169: default on disabling PCIDAC

From: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
Date: 2004-09-19 22:42:31

Default to disabling PCI DAC as this option appears unsafe on amd64
(original suggestion by Hans-Frieder Vogt [off-list ref]).

The driver will typically report PCI System error when something goes
wrong. The relevant interrupt is not masked any more and the driver
can thus be disabled.
