Well, please ignore the vendor driver, it is crap (it is used as
"documentation" to write the proper driver i.e r8169).
Also can you provide a dmesg output and what do you mean by "nic does
not work" ?
Is it simply not detected or does it refuse to transfer any data?
Adam and dwmw2 got it sorted out with a new kernel build in irc.
thanks,
