There are also a few other notes that should be taken into
consideration, witch I already mentioned:
1) I have 3 other NIC's on the same machine that also use r8169 driver.
I cannot reproduce this problem in any of them. These are PCI cards.
2) The card on which I can reproduce this problem is a PCI Express one (
on board ).
3) If I compile the kernel without MSI/MSI-X support, I can't also
reproduce the problem. You may test it by booting with pci=nomsi

I believe that Francoi's patches (correct me if I'm wrong), are meant
for him just be sure/clue on where the problem lies. I'll test those
patches in a few hours and will report back the results.
