They should but they will not apply directly against 2.6.18-something.

Florian, can you consider one of the option below:
- try current 2.6.23-git. It contains the changes which should fix your
  alignment issues.
- try http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/backport/r8169/20070604-00
  It is a backport against 2.6.18 which should bring you quite close to
  2.6.23-git wrt r8169.
