Subject: r8169 vpd r/w failed

Francois,
 We occasionally see reports from r8169 where it seems to hang
reading vpd data from the NIC. The printk in drivers/pci/
suggests it's likely a firmware bug on the device, and recommends the user
contact the vendor for an update (does Realtek even do firmware updates?)

Is this as the message suggests a firmware bug, or should r8169 be
avoiding trying to read vpd ?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827137 is one example.

thanks,

	Dave
