It works fine for me (with kernel 4.9.x)

Thanks!

Sure, why not.

Pacho, if you actually use this then would you be interested in taking it on? When I did the last bump, I realised that the mainline r8169 actually works with my hardware now even though it didn't before. More importantly, I'm about to sell this motherboard. The package is very low maintenance.

Hold that thought a minute, I better fix bug #618340 first.

[Comment 3 James Le Cuirot 2017-05-13 19:42:39 UTC]

Okay, sorted that. Admittedly I only build tested it but the change looks harmless enough and doesn't build against 4.11 without it.

amd64 stable

For now I won't  take it as I simply needed to use it with a machine that I won't be able to test it on a daily basis in the near future, sorry :/
