I do not know if it could help someone here: I'm on 64Studio (not Ubuntu) and I have a Realtek 8139 that gave a similar message today (netdev watchdog eth1: transmit out.
I finally found that a Windows Update (Realtek 8139 new driver) I made last week gave this weird result in my Linux partition... I rolled back the old driver in Windows and I had no more of these messages and my network is running fine again. I found the solution at: http://bozziesfw.wordpress.com/2007/08/14 /netdev-watchdog-timed-out-realtek-8139/ *To the administrator, if you find this message is not related in any way to this bug, do not hesitate to remove it. -- RTL-8029: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
