    I know it's fri^Wsatursday but it does not help if you do not specify which
    patch you applied.

    At a minimum, you want to upgrade the sources of the r8169 driver up to a
    more recent 2.4.x: simply drop a drivers/net/r8169.c from the latest 2.4.x
    into your 2.4.24 tree, rebuild and report the result (+ complete dmesg +
    lspci -vx + lsmod for my collection please).

    Cc: netdev@oss.sgi.com is welcome.
