Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7815 laptop with r8108E (10/100
Mbits/sec)
NIC which I'm trying to get working.

There's appears to be a bug in the default kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64)
for Fedora 9:
   
   Sep 24 09:02:22 localhost kernel: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver
2.2LK-NAPI loaded
   Sep 24 09:02:22 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A]
-> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
   Sep 24 09:02:22 localhost kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference at 0000000000000208

I downloaded the r8108E driver from RealTek which I can build and
install, but  the
problem is I can *NOT*

    rmmod r8169   (ERROR: Module in use)

or

    insmod r8108  (insmod: error inserting 'r8101.ko' : -1 Invalid
module format)

I am dead in the water.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
