this bug has not disappeared. I have tried the regular driver module and also the latest driver provided by realtek (website).
the card is unable to send packets with MTU > to 1500 (e.g. ifconfig eth8 mtu 7168 or via /etc/network/interfaces) some additional info root@:~/r8169-6.013.00/src # uname -a Linux 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 10 16:12:40 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux root@:~/r8169-6.013.00/src # ethtool -i eth8 driver: r8169 version: 2.3LK-NAPI firmware-version: bus-info: 0000:01:0a.0 root@:~/r8169-6.013.00/src # modinfo r8169 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko version: 6.013.00-NAPI license: GPL description: RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver author: Realtek and the Linux r8169 crew <[email protected]> srcversion: E4F620EFDC400F50E5C22A5 alias: pci:v000010ECd00008169sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010ECd00008167sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: vermagic: 2.6.32-5-686 SMP mod_unload modversions 686 parm: speed:force phy operation.
