The patch is not included in the latest kernel source. Actually, you are not supposed to use the patch-kit this way. If you do a 'tar jxvf r8169-20070522.tar.bz2', you should notice that the archive file is extracted into a nice directory which contains a serie of patches. You should follow the numbering of the patches and apply them to a clean 2.6.22-rc2 tree (i.e. apply 0001-foo, 0002-bar, 0003-frob, usw). As an option you can retrieve the url below which contains all the patches above in a single patch-file: http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20070522-2.6.22-rc2-r8169.patch The patch-kit allows to peel the onion more easily when somthing goes wrong. Btw, I have just updated everything for 2.6.22-rc3, you should try any of http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.22-rc3 http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20070527-2.6.22-rc3-r8169.patch If you use 'make oldconfig' to update your config, you will be prompted for 'EEPROM 93CX6 support' as the relevant bits have been extracted from the wireless-dev git tree to access the EEPROM connected to the 816x. Don't disable it. -- 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
