 Any mistake?

Have you looked at the manual page for this driver? (try running 'man
rl' in a (x-)terminal). I quote:

 rl%d: watchdog timeout  The device has stopped responding to the network,
 or there is a problem with the network connection (cable).

I recently dumped an rl based card because it didn't work properly
(upload speed sucked).

The rl driver supports some really terrible hardware, so I'm far from
convinced that your custom kernel is causing the problems.  Perhaps you
could check by switching back to a GENERIC kernel for a while.
