Hello,

  I have just recently installed SL 5.3 x86_64 and am having trouble 
with the r8169 network driver.
The card reports that its MAC address is FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.  The card 
seems to work but obviously
this MAC address is bogus.  I have tried rebuilding the driver from 
Realtek without success

It appears that Red Hat has fixed the problem.  Any idea when it will 
make it into SL5.3?

Thanks,
