Eventually an help from a dev! (sorry Kjell, but I don't think your
playing with launchpad helped in solving this soon) So I was correct
in observing strangeness with that "PCI-MSI-edge" and that suspicious
IRQ in my logs. Unless ubuntu 7.10 and 8.10 ship with "pci=nomsi" by
default, and I don't think so, there's a regression somewhere, maybe
not in the r8169 module code. Is there any way we, users, can help
with dealing of this regression?
