Summary: issues with realtek 8169 (module r8169)

Initial Comment:
All packets received by realtek network adapter (using kernel module r8169) are dropped; [using ifconfig is possible to read an unusual value for dropped counter:   RX packets:52 errors:0 dropped:3558040992 overruns:0 frame:0  ].

I'm using an Intel Atom (D945GCLF) board and its internal network adapter. 
All other machines on the network can not be reached and other machines can not ping the firewall.

I tried with a most recent Intel Atom (D945GCLF2) board, the kernel module used is the same but the issue is different.
In this case the kernel doesn't understand when the network link is ready (up).

Using google I found this is a bug of r8169 kernel module solved by recent kernel versions.

I hope to be helpful, regards
