You will find a backport of the r8169 driver for the 2.6.18 kernel at
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/backport/r8169/20070604-00
(tarball in the upper directory).

As 2.6.18 corrupts your data and 2.6.22 does not detect the link, it
could help if you tried each patch in the serie (on top of the previous
one) against 2.6.18 until the link is lost.

Ok, that's good to know. I.e. got a link and no data corruption with
2.6.22 ?
