It may help and/or accelerate things if you can narrow the fix(es) in the current r8169 serie.
Instead, I built 2.6.21.5+[a patch I snatched from a mail communication you had on 2007-06-20 (Msg-ID: [ref] )]. I will attach it with this mail, as it is really small and you don't have to dig around to know what I'm talking about. As I am no kernel-developer, I am not sure there are no undesired side effects by applying this patch to this kernel; if you think there are (could/should be), it would be nice if you could state that, so I'd refrain from testing with this combination.
Following up to myself: It seems like the patch is able to change things in a way which makes the machine lock up hard. Pity that, looked so promising at first... greets, jens -- drifter@bcsoft.de 23.....56.......drifting By caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, By the beans of Java do thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, By caffeine alone do I set my mind in motion
