r8169-2.6.30-backport
PPA description
Backported Realtek 8169/8168/8101 (aka r8169) driver from 2.6.30 for users of earlier Ubuntu releases (Jaunty/9.04, e.g.). The 2.6.30 version of the driver has big stability fixes for NICs with significant load, but a significant NIC API change in 2.6.29 prevents later code from compiling/running on earlier kernels. This package set fixes that. This PPA will be obsolete in Karmic (which, at this point, is looking like it'll be running 2.6.30 already), but in the meantime...
This is my first ever attempt at:
* A DKMS module (based on Karmic's bcmwl package)
* A PPA
For all I know, this package archive may cause you to get warts and make your pants explode. Proceed with caution.
