AW: AW: [Xen-users] XEN 3.4 - Problems with eth0 (link down)
Hi, I have the sources from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#RTL8111B/RTL8168B/RTL8111/RTL8168%3Cbr%3ERTL8111C/RTL8111CP/RTL8111D(L)%3Cbr%3ERTL8168C/RTL8111DP They compile without any change. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to integrate them into the linux tree. Because of the discussion to move to another kernel tree, I also see no use in taking any effort into this integration, as an out-of-kernel compile works pretty well. Note: I use V8.011.00.

So the new revisions of this card needs to be updated in this particular file. Has sombody expirience with that?

Hi, I''ve tried a new r8169.c file out from the kernels.org and put them into the right folders. After making a "make kernels" the compilation stops at this file. So I think the complete files which are used by xen needs to be adapted in any case. Otherwise it would be very easy to use a complete new kernel. We need to add the newer revisions to the existing xen-patched r8169.c file. What for a version of XEN are you using? Which Realtek are you using?
