Ok.

Yes.

Oops, mii-tool is not included in the net-tool package by Suse.

You can follow http://freshmeat.net/projects/mii-tool.

/me digs in the pending bugs mailbox...

Apparently there is no currently known version of the kernel/driver
whose behavior would be different, right ?

Can you try if it is enough to bring the link back to 1000 to:
- ifconfig down/up the adapter
- kick it with mii-tool

Whatever the result, it would be nice to test the latest patchkit which
will go into mainline (i.e. any of:
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20070628-2.6.22-rc6-r8169-test.patch
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.22-rc6/r8169-20070628/
)

The patch will not apply directly against 2.6.21.5. Is it an option for
you to try 2.6.22-rc6 or are you stuck with 2.6.21.5 ?
