I'm a little confused though as to which patch you want me to apply. There was an inline patch against r8169.c in your message, and then there was another patch to r8169.c in the form of an attachment. Both patches removed the include of asm/system.h but the rest of the content differs. Did you want each tried in turn? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious.Use the inlined one. I forgot to remove the 2.6.35.11 based attachment.
Ok, no problem. That's done now and it appears to work. That is, I am not seeing any of the erroneous UDP packet delivery problems noted previously and therefore the communication with the external device is working normally. I dropped the patched r8169.c into a 4.3.0 kernel since that's what I already had on the system. Regards jonathan
