So, what needs to happen is somebody needs to look at the sis190 changes that went in, and apply those same fixes to r8169.


If no one objects, I can do for r8169 the same thing I did for sis190.
Btw the DMA Rx/Tx rework is already in good shape (I rather like seeing
Jeff improving (S)ATA than coming to copy over his RX and TX handling
code :o) ).

Anyway, the bk-commit patches which were related to sis190 are available at:

hehe. I certainly don't object... You probably want to look over the r8169 v1.6 that Brad posted a link to, since it does have some improved 8169 hardware support (modulo bugs, of course).
