--------------
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".
