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.
