Some r8169 PR are still open (mac address change, acpi suspend/resume and "special" motherboard) but there is no clear pattern related to stability under load. Can you send before and after the ping takes 9000 ms: - ifconfig output - registers dump via ethtool 9000ms seems quite close to the watchdog timeout (6 s) + ping interval. Complete dmesg and .config will be welcome. -- Ueimor
