After failing to build the module alone in a way that it would accept loading 
in debian-provided kernel, I fall back to building vanilla kernel + proposed 
patches.

I first went for 3.4, but realised the patch you attached was already applied 
there.

So I went with 3.3.7, and patch failed to apply, at least partly because 3.3.7 
lacks "r8169: fix early queue wake-up."[1] . I solved the conflicts manually, 
but I'm not sure of the result. Could you confirm attached patch might give 
expected result ? Or should I stick to 3.4 and only test inlined patch ?
