If you can not upgrade the kernel, I can not do anything for you since several fixes went in after 2.6.11-rc1-mm1. Regarding your r8169 issue, I suggest: 1) download linux kernel 2.6.12-rc1 2) apply on top of it: http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.11/r8169/patches/r8169-570.patch 3) avoid the proprietary tainting module Please Cc: netdev@oss.sgi.com for issues related to network drivers. -- Ueimor
