We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.27.6
kernel.
It contains a wide range of bugfixes, and all users of the 2.6.27
kernel series are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.27.5 and 2.6.27.6
Francois Romieu (3):
r8169: get ethtool settings through the generic mii helper
r8169: fix RxMissed register access
r8169: wake up the PHY of the 8168
My r8169 no longer compiles:
...
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 243 modules
ERROR: "mii_ethtool_gset" [drivers/net/r8169.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
Attached my .config. Also tried witht he following changed, with the
same results:
+CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
+CONFIG_MII=m
r8169 works fine here, from dmesg:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
r8169 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

Grant.
Mine works fine as well, on 2.6.27.5. It does not even *compile* on
2.6.27.6. Jean Schurger just sent an e-mail
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122703112423031) with the same
issue, but was kind enough to provide a patch (which I have not tested).
