You should grep for the XID line in the kernel dmesg to identify
the chipset version.

"Reserved" in my 2007 8168c rev1.0 datasheet.

I merged it long ago from Realtek's driver. It has now changed to 0x5f51.

On the old PCI 8169, bits 15..8 relate to Tx and 7..0 to Rx. Bits 7..4
count in units of 125 us and bits 0..3 in packet units. You may give
0x..00 a try.

Hayes knows better for the 8168 line.
