Hi, no Xen patched version is necessary. Simply - download the source from realtek - change the src/Makefile to point to the right build dir - make modules - et voila, the r8168.ko is in src Compiles for me with 8.012.00, works with 8.011.00. I cannot say whether it works with 8.012.00, because I only remotly compiled. I will maybe use it after the next maintenance downtime. This driver works for me with Xen 3.2-1 from Debian, Xen 3.3.1, and Xen 3.4.0. When compiled and moved into the right position (maybe via "make install" if you compile in Dom0, or by copying it to /lib/modules..., you can even hot unload the wrong 8169 and load 8168. Take care to rebuild your initramfs, blacklist 8169, enforce the use of 8168.

After making a "make kernels" the compilation stops at this file. So I think the complete files which are used by xen needs to be adapted in any case. Otherwise it would be very easy to use a complete new kernel. We need to add the newer revisions to the existing xen-patched r8169.c file. What for a version of XEN are you using? Which Realtek are you using?
