With that patch 2.6.5-rc2 + r8169 DAC compiles and works fine.

There is one problem however: If I unplug and plug the cable it does not come 
back to online (even the LED on the card does not glow). I did not try 
reloading the driver, but a reboot does fix it :-( (later today I shall try 
reloading the driver). OTOH the vanilla 2.6.5-rc2 (or rc3) does not show this 
behaviour.

As for as the stability, I have stress tested it for couple of hours and it 
seems to work just fine.

Thanks
Hari
