Hi,

I'm also seeing hard crashes when using the r8169 driver, running a 32-bit
2.6.4-rc1 kernel on a AMD64 system with a MSI K8T motherboard (VIA KT800). It
has an onboard Realtek 8110S chip.
When I stopped using the r8169 module the crashes stopped. Now using a PCI
rtl8139 nic temporarily.

Is there any way to apply these newer -netdev patches without resorting to
-mm tree? This is a production machine, so I'd rather stick to linus' 2.6.x,
but if there's no choice I'll try -mm...

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Claudio
