Bug#561309: needs firmware for module r8169 (/rtl8168d-{1, 2}.fw)

[Dave Witbrodt <dawitbro@sbcglobal.net>]

Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.22
Severity: normal


Ben, your patch works for me.  Will this be made part of the Debian
2.6.32 kernel, or were you merely experimenting?  (It would really help
if the KT used this, unless/until the r8169 firmware can be used in
Debian.)

I don't seem to get the 60 sec delay that Stefan referred to.  (Only
delay I experienced was that it takes 5 times longer to build one of
these kitchen-sink kernels than with my carefully crafted custom
config!  ;)


Thanks for investigating this,
Dave W.
