Where is this init sequence in the driver? I searched in the code and didn't find something that could satisfy, then I took the 2.6.12.3 r8169.c, put it in the 2.6.11.11 source tree, applied my patch, changed synchronize_sched(); to synchronize_kernel(); because the symbol was unknown and then I could turn eth1 on and assign it an ip address but the rx and tx count never grew and when I turned eth0 down (a 8139 card) eth1 didn't reply to ping anymore.

Hmm... you wrote this mail at 00 h 48 this morning, what did you mean by tomorrow evening?
