Unfortunatelly this driver is blacklisted, because for one of chips
(8169D) firmware loader has been introduced. I try to understand all the
patches (related to 8169) applied by Debian. Have to look deeper inside
it. Maybe comparison with recent linux-libre will give me some hints.

Okay. Maybe it would be useful to have list of modified packages to check? For
my system I did: 
  dpkg -l | grep "gnewsense[1-9]" | awk '{print $2 " ver. " $3}'
and it gave me under 40 items (including some TeX stuff). Such a list could be
easily published somewhere (wiki?). What do you think?
