Francois,
Using the latest patch you provided in the previous e-mail under
2.6.22-rc3 I still see data corruption after I dropped the entire

I've installed a Debian lenny test DVD onto a system with two r8169
devices, and the default 2.6.18 kernel that comes with the install DVD
causes silent data corruption! The network appears to be working fine,
