  --------------
  using the module r8169 (
  version:        2.2LK
  vermagic:       2.6.20-2-generic SMP mod_unload 586 )
  
  after some minutes of using the pc as usual (light browsing etc) the message 
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out" appears in the system log and the 
network connection fails.
  ifconfig to activate/deactivate the device does not help. removing the module 
is not possible as it is in use. reboot helps :)
  
  Solution as suggested by (german!)
  http://www.hosteurope.de/faq/index.php?cpid=12346 is to turn off TSO
  ("TCP Segmentation Offload") with "sudo ethtool -K eth0 tso off".
