The current in-kernel version of the r8169 driver is v1.2
from RealTek.  This is a patch against 2.6.0-test9-bk6
and later kernels that updates the driver to 1.6 from RealTek.
Just small patches applied to it to port to 2.6 kernel, etc.
It works with the 8110S chip found on many motherboards,
especially x86_64 mobos.
