Thanks Prem Rara. The patch referenced is in the upstream mainline kernel. Unfortunately it didn't make it into the Intrepid Ibex 2.6.27 kernel. I'll open both an Intrepid and Hardy nomination for the kernel team to consider backporting. Thanks.
- the register is defined for the 8169 chipset only and there is
no 8169 beyond RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_06.
- only the lower 3 bytes of the register are valid
