Hello,
I have just recently installed SL 5.3 x86_64 and am having trouble with the
r8169 network driver.
The card reports that its MAC address is FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The card seems
to work but obviously
this MAC address is bogus. I have tried rebuilding the driver from Realtek
without success
It appears that Red Hat has fixed the problem. Any idea when it will make it
into SL5.3?

... the files in that are replaced by those in
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1222.html
which is the security fix that many of us have been waiting for.
I expect it will be top of Troy or Connie's list this morning.
