Hello Francois-
I just bought a new Jetway mainboard with a pair of RTL 8169 NICs.
After installing Fedora 7, and upgrading to 2.6.22.1-41.fc7, I still
can't get either of the NICs to recognize a link beat from my switch.
lspci -v output:

I assume "Unknown device" indicates that the driver doesn't recognize
the model string?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
