Description
Using the contents of r8169-0.0.4.zip on my Asus M3A78-EM motherboard (the onboard NIC died, so I have a plug in 8169 in it), with quad core Phenom processor, I have major problems with Virtual Switch. Running WinXP under VPC 5.1, I see windows start to run, then it is hung for about a minute while it attempts to get a DHCP address. That seems to have been successful, but no further network activity is possible, and trying to close WinXP hangs the system.
Using r8169-0.0.3.zip I see the same problem. VPC works fine when I use the GENMAC driver, but performance is not as good otherwise.

I have implemented promiscuous mode and tested it with vswitch. It will be in the next version of this driver.

The driver supplied by r8169-0.1.0.wpi fixes this problem.
Thanks...

VSWITCH require promiscuous mode and promiscuous mode is not implemented in this driver. When I get some time I'll look into adding this feature. This is a hardware specific feature.
