I tested with the 2.6.26-rc9 kernel this time, although I applied the patch to the 2.6.25's r8169.c. Likely it is my inexperience, but the patch as I copied it from the netdev@...r.kernel.org posting did not apply cleanly using the patch tool, so I had to hand-apply the patch code changes to 8169.c. However, once this was done and compiled, the Ethernet began working much better. I have not been able so far to make it fail, even more than two dozen or more cold and warm resets. Previous failure rate was at least during 50% of resets, so it is at a minimum much more stable on startup. Much thanks! - Michael Mario Limonciello wrote: > Hi Michael: > > Sorry, I posted this to the list I received your message from > (netdev@...r.kernel.org).
