In that case, compare the Linux driver and RTnet's, check if there is just that ID to be added or some more differences. Using Linux git history to track the development of the original driver since the port can help here to understand changes. > As far as i understand, the rt_r8169 is based on linux driver but not > connected at all with it so i guess that this drivers simply doesnt work with > my card ( damn :( ) The driver used to work for at least one card (Klaus' adapter), but had some rough edges and was lacking broader testing - hence the experimental state.
