This is actually the case that fails for me.

05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
         Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ -2147483648

Interrupt Pin is 0x01, and Interrupt Line is 0xff

I'll have to check the existing code to see what it does.

Also, thanks for catching the commit message typos.
