You need to reproduce the issue when the module has never been loaded after boot. There is > 100x more code in the binary module than in the r8169 driver. False positive have already been reported in the past regarding the r8169 driver + binary stuff. I recognize that it is very confusing to see the machine getting unstable after a simple change of network card but you would not be the first one. > The other thing... as I said, I bought three.

Other than that, I can't name a (real) difference... (it seems that you use the bi-AMD motherboard of hell: be sure to plug a PS2 mouse) The 64-bit PCI slot should not make a difference: when 64 bit issues arise (if any), they happen at startup. I guess that your router does not use X as well. -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
