Bug#407217: avahi not working with r8169 driver

[Sam Morris <sam@robots.org.uk>]

found 407217 2.6.26-15
thanks

I believe I'm seeing this on an amd64 system with the following
hardware:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
	Kernel driver in use: r8169
	Kernel modules: r8169

That's the onboard NIC of an Asus P6T-SE.

Symptoms: the system does not receive any avahi queries or responses
unless I put the interface into promiscuous mode with tcpdump/tshark.

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:24:8c:71:4d:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I am currently testing version 2.6.29-5 and everything's working fine.
So this may have been fixed in a later version of the kernel.
