Package: linux-source-2.6.32 Version: 2.6.32-31 Severity: normal
My kernel compiled from linux-source-2.6.32-30 worked fine with the r8169 module (with and without the firmware-realtek package installed). Now I compiled a new kernel from linux-source-2.6.32-31, using make oldconfig, and found that the new kernel make from the current sources panics during booting with some stacktrace messages indicating a problem with the r8169 module. The default Debain kernel works fine with this module installed, though. It does not use the firmware, giving you a message that the firmware couldn´t be applied. 2.6.32-30 did use the firmware. Some research[1] turned up that I eventually need a module called r8168 for my onboard network card. I followed the instructions on [1], and my kernel made from linux-source-2.6.32-31 works fine with the r8168 module. So something must have been changed between 2.6.32-30 and 2.6.32-31 that affects the r8169 module. Perhaps that module shouldn´t have been used on my system to begin with?
