I just revived my old ITP http://bugs.debian.org/642198 and tried to put my things in a git repository: Only git://git.debian.org/~anbe-guest/r8168.git seems to work so far. > @Ben: > I still think this driver should be added as alternative driver to the > archive, until r8169 will do its job for the promoted PCIIDs correctly. One possible solution I see would be to upload r8168 to sid (or experimental) and add a severity=serious bug "r8168 should not enter testing - let's fix r8169 in the kernel instead" to prevent migration. Documentation should include detailed instructions how to properly report bugs for the in-kernel r8169 if it does not work (but r8168 does). Do I see it correctly that this driver is to be classified as non-free? The source code says "GPL2+", but 50% of the source lines is something like mdio_write(tp, 0x1E, 0x0078); making this look very 'blobby'.
