Mario,

Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

When you write below about  'the patch' and 'the list,' can you be a bit 
more specific, particularly about which list you posted it to?

Also, I think Kasper's question below related to, was the patch you used 
to fix your 8169 issues now part of  rc9, or is it still independent of 
the main tree?  For those like me not used to be bleeding edge, its 
cleaner to just snag the rc candidate than to try the hand patch method.

Any insight you can offer is appreciated.

Cheers,

- Michael
