I just looked at a screen-shot from 13 days ago... / Mirror comes to mind. I was downloading some packages today, and this bug showed up.... again!

I just found out that apparently this bug was fixed already over a year ago on Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760980

It suggest to simply update to a new version of r8168-dkms. Shouldn't be too hard, should it ?
