Interesting.
In this very thread you mentioned (in which you did not cc me BTW :-) that you
welcomed AMD64-RTL8169 users, that gave me an idea. I tested this computer
under 32 bit kernel (vanilla Fedora + 2.6.1-mm4) in which it survives my
torture test (I have verified for no more than 5 minutes though, but then it
does not survive for more than 5 secs under the 64 bit kernel).
(And BTW I do not like binary only kernel modules, and I do these bug
reporting "for fun", and there is no fun in binary only modules. I have been
reading lkml for long enough to understand that :-)
Thanks for help and suggestions so far, I appreciate them.
Hari
