I realize you "don't really care about the MS Windows driver". But the thread you posted was a dual-boot problem. If you don't ever use Windows, then the problem shouldn't occur in the first place. Regardless of which driver you care about, its primary cause is Windows. Why should anyone fix a driver for Linux that isn't broken? The 8139too driver works just fine without the Windows update, which leads me to believe it has something to do with what Windows does to the firmware/chipset of the NIC.
