   4 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: remove detection of chip version 11 (early
   5  RTL8168b)
   6
   7 This early RTL8168b version was the first PCIe chip version, and it's
   8 quite quirky. Last sign of life is from more than 15 yrs ago.
   9 Let's remove detection of this chip version, we'll see whether anybody
  10 complains. If not, support for this chip version can be removed a few
  11 kernel versions later.
