A rough kernel estimate had been enough. Nevermind. You will find a hopefully not too quick 2.6.38 backport at : git://violet.fr.zoreil.com/romieu/r8169 It does not reach the current in-kernel r8169.c state - call me lazy - but stops somewhere between 3.2 and 3.3. While only 76 commits long, it should be enough to spot a r8169 regression. Assuming you run a 2.6.38-something kernel whose build tree lays at the usual place, the included makefile will build a out-of-kernel r8169 driver. You can use it as: git clone git://violet.fr.zoreil.com/romieu/r8169 cd r8169 git rev-list --all | tac | while read c; do git reset --hard $c make rmmod r8169 sync insmod ./r8169.ko <insert your ip addr add ... / link up and test sequence here> done > /tmp/lets-go-shopping.log ^C when things go wrong. You could do a git bisect but there may be several stupidly broken commits and I have not checked that the top of the tree works. Of course you are suggested to check that the code won't try to abuse your system. -- Ueimor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
