8-) I saw your comments under the bug report yesterday and learned yet another
new thing about packaging the kernel. However there is still a lot to learn
before I'll be able to "close" #37522, which really bothers me. This #37522 is
important for me because network installation will be impossible in my
environment (currently it's possible, because installer uses kernel version
which have support for 8169)

Do you mean all packages for the kernel or all recent gNewSense packages? If
it's the latter, I can go through (at least) all packages I was involed with
and add this file (if that helps or make things easier for you).

Happy hacking!
