cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
acpi_pm jiffies tsc

Since I don't have hpet in my available_clocksources I tried notsc and
clocksource=acpi_pm. I also tried the two ethtool commands below.

None of these changes made any difference. Networking is dead until the
r8169 module is unloaded and reloaded. Also, while the network is up but
"dead", mouse input is erratic. Moving the mouse is not smooth at all.
Something is severely wrong while the r8169 module is in this state.

See attached .config.
