Maybe it's a BIOS issue. Tested some more. Found out that the Realtek-supplied r8168-8.046.00 is buggy (compilation bugged out, see one of my last mails). I just succeeded in compiling r8168-8.047.00, which ran straight out of the box. So the NIC is fine and not defect.
I do agree with you: I definitely would prefer an opensource driver but the r8169 simply didn't work. In regard of my success with r8168-8.047.00, do you still think it might be a BIOS-issue? Regards, Karsten
