Re: linux 2.6.9: r8169: eth0: PCI error (status: 0x8404). Device disabled.

Hi Francois.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - real life has a nasty habit
of intruding :(

Anyway, The device was brought back to functioning order by removing the
module and re-inserting it. I have to confess, I forgot to try simply
downing/upping it, I'll ask my friend to try that should it happen
again. Bizarrely, the frequency of it happening seems to be down for
whatever reason - it took ~12GB traffic to cause it to happen this
afternoon.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Cheers,
Eamonn
