Hey Daniel!

It's about like that. What I can say that I understood, in a non-expert
view, is:

1) No, my card did work with 2.6.38-10 kernel. It was doing it randomly.
That link I refer says that Ubuntu automatic config does not get a good
driver, or something like that.

2) Yes, the link proposes to put the driver that Ubuntu used in
blacklist and update using the linked at Realtek's website, so I did
this.

3) Yes, I did the update normally using Synaptic. A post-observation
(and the problem that gave me some crisis) was that I had set the -10
kernel to completely removal, but lukily it didn't get it. I don't know
why but after a couple hours I realised that the packages were there
yet, and so I could install them again and give these info to you.

4) Yes, -11 kernel does not find the network card.

Strangely, I think the kernel had updated between the time I compiled
the driver and yesterday, so this is the cause of my surprise and
inspired me to post here.

Good to know the blacklist part isn't required, but if I skip that step
would the driver for r8169 be that one that caused me trouble in -10
kernel? Is this problem a very specific one?

I'm going to try to recompile the driver now. I'm going to be back later
with your answer. ;)


Thanks!
