I have two Ethernet adapters:
r8169 0000:03:01.0 eth0: RTL8169sb/8110sb, 00:14:d1:14:2d:49, XID 10000000, IRQ 18
r8169 0000:01:00.0 eth0: RTL8168e/8111e, 64:66:b3:11:14:5d, XID 2c200000, IRQ 30
And after upgrading from linux 4.15 [1] to linux 4.18+ [2] RTL8169sb failed to
receive any packets. tcpdump shows a lot of checksum mismatch.

[2]: 0519359784328bfa92bf0931bf0cff3b58c16932 (4.19 merge window opened)
I started bisecting and the found that [3] breaks it. According to [4]:
"For 8110S, 8110SB, and 8110SC series, the initial value of RxConfig
needs to be set after the tx/rx is enabled."
So I moved rtl_init_rxcfg() after enabling tx/rs and now my adapter works
(RTL8168e works too).

[4]: e542a2269f232d61270ceddd42b73a4348dee2bb ("r8169: adjust the RxConfig
settings.")
Also drop "rx" from rtl_set_rx_tx_config_registers(), since it does nothing
with it already.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
