With the 2.6.29-rc7 kernel I'm unable to 'ifup' eth0 on my ARM-based Thecus n2100 NAS box, which has an RTL8169 NIC (10ec:8169 (rev 10)). A diff of the kernel logs from 2.6.29-rc6 and -rc7 shows that -rc7 first mangles and then zaps the MAC addresses:
Can you apply the attached patch and see if it fixes any of these problems ? Tim, could you give it a try too ? It applies with "patch -p1" from the kernel tree directory. -- Ueimor
