Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-13lenny2
Severity: important

Hi,

Ben Hutchings suggested to report a bug for this. With lenny and its
usual 2.6.26 kernel the r8169 driver is loaded for the following card:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)

This is right, except that the version in the Lenny kernel does not work
for this card. Usually it fails to detect the link properly and says
that the "device is not ready" instead. From a hardware side one can
say that a link exists (both by looking at the cards LED and the
switch LED to which it is connected).
Using the 8168 driver from Realtek is working fine.
Sometimes the 8169 also works (it worked fine when I had it connected
at a friends place, so probably related to the hardware to which it
is attached).

The problem has gone away in 2.6.31. There the driver is working fine.
Sorry, but I cannot provide logs anymore, because I don't have such.
I'm also not using the Lenny 2.6.26 kernel anymore, because the ath5k
code in that kernel is outdated and does not support the master mode,
which I need.

Best Regards,
Patrick
