Hello.

I have r8169 integrated network card and it does not work on a F8.

The symptoms are:
1. Another computer cant get IP address from this one. They are
connected through switch.
2. LED on the switch is constantly blinking.

Some files:

# dmesg | grep r8169
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded

# cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep r8169
alias eth0 r8169

# /sbin/lspci | grep 8169
02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

# /sbin/lsmod | grep r8169
r8169                  27589  0

I have tried to build module from Realtek web site, but it does not
build on F kernel:

# make clean modules

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/build
SUBDIRS=/home/knight/Desktop/r8169-6.003.00/src modules

make[3]: *** [/home/knight/Desktop/r8169-6.003.00/src/r8169_n.o] Error 1

Thanks in advance.
P.S. Network Card is perfectly working on Windows. Switch LED stops
blinking when "Windows XP" screen appears (when drivers are loaded).
