SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 net-next 1/2] r8169: support RTL8106E

Simple bidirectional traffic worked fine (rsync + wget + ping) both
with and without tx checksumming offload.

Wol g or u worked as well. Link was ok and traffic flowing after a
suspend to ram.

No problem with module removal / insertion / device up / traffic loop.

I did not notice it. Was it submitted ?

It was obviously not required for testing :o)

Realtek's 1.022.00 8101 driver only maps { 0x7c800000; 0x44800000 } to
a generic device - if at all - and it maps { 0x7cf00000; 0x44800000 }
to a different chipset (namely CFG_METHOD_15 where RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_39
is CFG_METHOD_16).

Why should both drivers diverge ?
