It is too soon to label it a debug feature or a genuine bug in the r8169 driver but at least there is a r8169 patchkit to help with various annoyances (obscure bug on amd platform for instance). It could make a difference. The disk io + r8169 driver bugs can be very frustrating to debug :o/ -- Ueimor Anybody got a battery for my Ultra 10 ?
