Description Andreas Reis 2015-09-09 20:26:12 UTC

Clevo W840SU laptop with
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)

dmesg | grep r8169:
[    1.168027] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded

No ill effects, but dmesg gets spammed with the last line over and over again. Doesn't matter whether there's even a cable connected, but seems the line (only) stops when the link becomes ready.

Seems to be duplicated by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107421
