r8169 ethernet stopped working kernel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64

[Neal Becker]

Oh the horror!

My wired r8169 stopped working.  The driver is loaded - I don't see any
errors.  tcpdump reports nothing (except my own dhcp requests). NM won't
connect.

Booted 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64.  Works.

I have repeated this several times.

One thing I don't understand - I'm sure r8169 has been working for me for
quite a while after that last kernel update.

One thing - I DID get a bunch of yum updates last night - but none seem to
be relevant.
