<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I recently checked out the mercurial archive for
the development branch and found the most recent r8169 device support at
kernel 2.6.33. Recent popular linux distributions are now at kernel 2.6.40. I
can no longer run the optimized device modules on my development system, which I
like to keep up to date for security reasons and to experiment
with realtime improvments in the stock kernel. How difficult is
it to update a device module for newer kernels? Has anyone done this? Is anyone
at IgH involved in doing this kind of work? I'm not in love with the
r8169, so any other device would be ok if I can get an updated
module.</FONT></DIV>
