I have verified the instructions beforehand by installing this kernel for 
lucid, precise and squeeze before John sent the announcement.

The suggestion that downloading this kernel package somehow wipes your grub 
configuration is a bit hard to follow; in any case you should have a default 
kernel which you can select via grub.

The log shows one attempt where the downloader obviously forgot the step 
'CODENAME=$(lsb_release -cs); echo $CODENAME' as per instructions. Please let 
me know the IP address (range) you connected from to verify if this could have 
been the cause.

Please boot into the non-Xenomai kernel (I do not know what you are running as 
you did not tell), and install the r1868 kmod as described on the wiki page. 
Then boot into the Xenomai kernel. Since I have the very same problem with an 
r8168, I can tell that this procedure works.
