Ok, no problem.

That's done now and it appears to work.  That is, I am not seeing any of the
erroneous UDP packet delivery problems noted previously and therefore the
communication with the external device is working normally.

I dropped the patched r8169.c into a 4.3.0 kernel since that's what I
already had on the system.
