I just swapped the cards from 8139 to 8169 and recompiled drivers. Never had 
any problem with the old one.

Have a look at 
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?lineid=1&famid=4&series=2003072&Software=True
This driver claims to be of revision 1.6 while vanilla ships with 1.2, so i 
gave it a try.
