My fault
linux-2.6.27-rc7 fixes this. I should have tested this.
Thanks to all who responded with fixes.

Hi
I have an Intel Atom D945GCLF based system. It has a realtek RTL8101E PCI network interface.
With linux-2.6.27-rc4 - everything seems fine. I think we've been working OK since 2.6.26ish.
With linux-2.6.27-rc5, "ifconfig eth0" just hangs. lspci -vvx reports, after loading the driver,
> 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev ff) (prog-if ff) > !!! Unknown header type 7f 00: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
10: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
20: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Before I load the driver lspci -vvx looks OK.
I do not have (much) time to look into this any further but hopefully this might help someone.
I know there are problems with this device on the atom board particularly around warm start but thus far I seem to have avoided this issue.
A cold start in this case does not help.
Lspci.bad comes from -rc5 with the r8169 driver loaded. Lspci.good comes from -rc4 with the r8169 driver loaded
Cheers
John
