Hi Corcodel
What PHY is actually being used? One that is supported by
drivers/net/phy/realtek.c?
It looks like the bugs you are finding are all handling stuff which is
generic, and well tested code in drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c would do
for you, with less bugs.
Maybe you want to consider throwing away the PHY code in r8169 and
just implement an standard mdio bus, use phylib and the realtek.c phy
driver?
