Sounds like a RC bug, so I'm setting it's severity to grave.

I "upgraded" today from kernel-image-2.6.8.2-386 version 2.6.8-13 to
2.6.8-16, and my network card (D-link 10/100 DFE-530TX) that is
controlled by the via-rhine module immediately quit working

Too bad this bug didn't get realized when -16 was in unstable...
looks like it's too late to fix this for 3.1r0.

True, there was some late minute package shiffling which meant that -16
ended up going straight into sarge. Unfortunately now we have this bug.
A similar thing seems to have happened with 2.4.27 and some neftilter
symbols. It partly my fault (in the sense that I uploaded the packages)
and partly a process issue. I do appologise for any inconvenience and
I'll try and get updates together over the next few days. But we have
clearly missed the boat for 3.1r0.

Hi Horms:

Thanks for acknowledging the via-rhine problem that has gotten into 3.1r0.
For Debian sarge users it sounds like you have plans to fix version 2.6.8-16
which is excellent. But until that happens, and for on-going Debian testing
users like me what kernel 2.6 solution do you recommend for all those who
require via-rhine for their networking?  For example, do you (or anybody
else paying attention to this bug thread) know whether the via-rhine
problems also occur for kernel-image-2.6.11 (currently in unstable)?
