Re: Realtek 8169 based device

Andy Hawkins [off-list ref] :
[...]

Secondly, I realise that the kernel I'm using here is quite old.
However, this is the kernel provided by the version of Openfiler I'm
using, so updating isn't a simple matter.

Which kernel version is it and does an "XID" line appear for the r8169
driver in the kernel log ?

[...]

Can anyone offer any advice on getting this card to work?

In the end there may be only two paths left : upgrade the kernel or
backport the driver.

It could help if some openfiler developer was available, at the very
least to retrieve an adequate kernel build tree if backporting is the
only option.
