The source code is available, thanks! However, while looking at the
config file (debian/config/config) inside the "orig tarball" I found
that support for VLANs is disabled for RTL8169 based cards. Were there
any problems while you were compiling it? I'm not sure about the
stability of this feature (I used it only few times) but I can't find
anything in r8169.c which may cause problems and it compiled fine on my
box and then worked well. Is it possible to enable it? I think it may be
useful for the users (you know, ethn:m [$n,m \in N$] interfaces with
different IP addresses). 

Happy hacking!
