This will need both /var/log/kern.log* (the kernel prints its version at startup, the same what you see in /proc/version) and /var/log/dpkg.log, which contains the package version corresponding to the kernel. > dpkg.log says : > > upgrade linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-39 2.6.32-39squeeze1 > > So there has been no version upgrade, apparently, and therefore the mystery > remains as to why the r8169 kernel driver works correctly now when it wasn't > working correctly before.
