** Description changed:
+ === SRU Justification ===
+ [Impact]
+ r8169 network device unable to detect link after boot.
+
+ [Fix]
+ Don't use MSI for older r8169 chips.
+
+ [Test]
+ User confirmed the issue is fixed with the patch applied.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. This reverts affected r8169 device to use INTx, which is more
+ reliable on older hardware.
+
+ === Original Bug Report ===
Since changes were introduced with 4.15.0-24 (LP #1752772), the r8169 driver
became unusable on x86 machines (16.04 and 18.04 distributions). The device is
always in link down state.
