I was using Tim Gardner's patched kernel successfully. Of course,
there's been a kernel update recently (two of them, actually) and
therefore Tim's kernel has been replaced with a standard Ubuntu version
- with the error in it.

For the moment, I've gone back to using a mainline kernel:
2.6.35-020635rc1-generic, which doesn't have this error.

However, if the fix isn't going to be released for lucid any time soon,
how would be go about compiling either a whole kernel (gulp!) or just
the r8169 driver so that we can get the functionality in the standard
Ubuntu kernel?
