Description Sergey Temerkhanov 2007-09-06 21:41:14 UTC

Since in-kernel r8169 driver still has unresolved issues on some systems (mostly on systems with shared interrupts like described here: http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev%40vger.kernel.org/msg44981.html), I've written an ebuild for r8168 driver from Realtek which seems to work well in such systems.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks but we prefer to get the unresolved kernel issues fixed as opposed to maintaining external drivers that get broken on every single new kernel version.
