A backport of the test version of the 2.6.x driver (SG, RX/TX csum, up to ~7000 bytes frames, patch against vanilla 2.4.28) is available at: http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20041205-2.4.28-r8169.c-test.patch For the curious one, the patchscript version can be found at: http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.4.x/2.4.28 It compiles but it is completely untested. You should probably wait a bit until I verify it is not trivially broken.
