ahoy all,

        i have been using deblob'd kernels in Gentoo for a few versions now,
thanks so much for your work.

        upon deblobbing a pro-audio overlay (Gentoo) Linux Kernel
v2.6.33.5-rt23 (a real-time kernel) with the deblob-2.6.33 script, the
kernel works fine.  however, the Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet
symbol in .config (R8169) is removed by the deblob script.  the previous
deblob scripts i was using with previous kernels (i.e.
linux-2.6.33.3-rt19) left the symbol in.  also, the driver is used by
Trisquel as well, so i am assuming the driver is FLOSS. perhaps
something changed or the deblob script is mis-identifying it?

        note that i am now using the new Gentoo "deblob" USE flag for
deblobbing any kernel on the fly, but as far as i can tell that is not
causing the problem.

thanks again.

peace
