I built my own buildtool.mk file. I basically copied must of the setup from
the r1000 Makefile because I don't know alot about writing Makefiles. I
didn't need to tweak anything in the Makefiles from Realtek. In the
buildtool.cfg I sorta lied about where the files were coming from since I
didn't need to download them. I just use the -D option when building it.

Anyway I'd be happy to contribute. Do I just email the files to one of the
developers?

Eric Spakman is very helpful in this aspect

Also there is an existing r8169 driver in the kernel under
/lib/modules/*(kernel name)*/drivers/net/. I don't know if this newer one
should replace it, or place the alternate at another location like
/lib/modules/*(kernel name)*/net. But having 2 driver versions with the same
name would be confusing plus it might screw up the build-modules scipt. As
you can see I'm not very experienced at this.

Don't touch the kernel files if you don't have to. you can build your own myr8169 package if you want to, but that is nor really needed. Once someone needs the driver and copies it to the modules directory just saving moddb will suffice.

cheers

Erich
