Hello, I've got a problem with usrobotics r8169 based gigabit ethernet;
kernel module doesn't properly startup, with modprobe r8169; module gets
correctly loaded, but ifconfig doesn't see it, and startup scripts deny
existence of an eth0 dev; meanwhile the r8169 module taken from the
cdrom compiles installs and functions correctly; here's the modinfo for
both:
kernel native module:
author: Realtek and the Linux r8169 crew <[email protected]>
description: RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver
parmtype: media:array of int
parmtype: rx_copybreak:int
parmtype: use_dac:int
parm: use_dac:Enable PCI DAC. Unsafe on 32 bit PCI slot.

and dmesg for both:

USR module:
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
eth0: Identified chip type is 'RTL8169s/8110s'.

0xe08e6000, 00:c0:49:f2:86:1e, IRQ 11
eth0: Auto-negotiation Enabled.
I don't understand exactly the difference between the two, thought I
could help by posting this fact. Please if you find it irrelevant don't
flame me, since it's my first post to the kernel mailing list, I'd
welcome any suggestions and I will try to post any other information you
request.
Keep on the good work,
Ciao!
Tommy
