If I had to untangle this mess, I would check that my router is not configured with an empty dhcp range. Then I would put each and every interface facing it in promiscuous (tcpdump) capture mode until one of those is able to negotiate a dhcp lease. I would thereafter replace it with the r8169 interface and compare the traffic (+ ethtool byte/packet counters). -- Ueimor
