Now I think that it is a problem with the command register. The PERR# is
set and this is causing the "8169: eth0: link up". I don't have a way to
test bandwidth here so that is up to you Steffen.
>setpci -s 0d.0 COMMAND=17
I will start another thread on PERR# and SERR# to discuss how and when
they should be enabled.
