Re: r8169, 2.6.2-rc2, Sager 4780 laptop

I started a ping, and unplugged the network cable.  I got the 'r8169: 
eth0: Reset RTL8169s PHY' message about once every 11 to 15 seconds.  Once 
plugged back in, the connection recovered immediately.  I repeated this 
several times.  So, it's still generating the messages, but they seem to 
be harmless (at least for the few minutes I was testing this).
