           Summary: RTL8111C onboard NIC, intermittently, does not connect
                    after boot.
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.26
          Platform: All

Latest working kernel version: 2.6.26
Earliest failing kernel version:2.6.24
Distribution:opensuse 11.0
Hardware Environment:MSI-945GCM7 MB w/celeron e1200 dual core
Software Environment:32 bit suse linux 11.0
Problem Description:RTL8111C onboard NIC, intermittently, does not connect
after boot. when it doesn't connect version number shown as 0xff instead of
0x02. After googling RTL8111C I found similar problem reported for archlinux
and ubuntu but no one has reported the version number change AFAIK. I had to
compile the driver into (CONFIG_R8169=y) the kernels prior to 2.6.26 in order
for the nic to work after boot 99% of the time. Whatever has happened in  the
2.6.26 version has enabled me to use the stock kernel with no changes but I now
have the same behaviour as the compiled in driver in previous kernels. See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=412823 .

Steps to reproduce:2.6.25 kernel and 945GCM7 w/RTL8111C
