2.6.28-rc1 doesn't boot, the rest of dmesgs is at: http://decibel.fi.muni.cz/~xslaby/r8169_mac/
However I may have a hw failure or some bug overwrote my eeprom, I see this in current mmotm: r8169 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A disabled r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded r8169 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 r8169 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 r8169: mac_version = 0x0c r8169 0000:06:00.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X r8169: MAC address found in EEPROM: 00:00:00:00:00:00 eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xffffc200042b0000, 00:00:00:00:00:00, XID 38000000 IRQ 43 r8169: mac_version = 0x0c
which looks like even in the eeprom are all zeroes now. Also 2.6.25 is affected by this now and it worked (from_Jul dmesg).
