Still Have a problem with links randomly failing to achieve link on
boot. This then requires a "modprobe -r r8169; modprobe r8169" cycle
to get link. Side effect is the mac address corruption I have
described previously.

Can you try to set the MAC address by hand with the completely patched
kernel (i.e. including the mac-address-change patch) ?

Given the last report in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6032,
it should be straightforward with your Debian system.

No clear idea why your three cards are not handled the same though.
