Yes, it does indeed:

[    0.765886] 8139too 0000:00:0d.0: can't route interrupt
[    0.765886] PCI: setting IRQ 9 as level-triggered
[    0.781734] 8139too 0000:00:0d.0 eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xc4804000, 
00:11:6b:32:85:74, IRQ 9

And also here:

# 8259A.pl
irq 0: 00, edge
irq 1: 00, edge
irq 2: 00, edge
irq 3: 00, edge
irq 4: 00, edge
irq 5: 00, edge
irq 6: 00, edge
irq 7: 00, edge
irq 8: 02, edge
irq 9: 02, level
irq 10: 02, edge
irq 11: 02, edge
irq 12: 02, edge
irq 13: 02, edge
irq 14: 02, edge
irq 15: 02, edge

Now connection also works fine with unmodified 8139too driver.
The percentage of low-level errors stays very small:

RX packets:13953 errors:1 dropped:2 overruns:1 frame:0
TX packets:37346 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:13 carrier:0

This fix looks really nice. Maybe it is right thing to do.


Thank you,

Regards,
Nikolai
