Ok, I dig a little in the 2.6.27.10 kernel and I've taken the newest 
driver (ver 8.012.00) from the realtek website.
Sorry - I haven't tested it under 2.6.30, because I had to fix it just 
for 2.6.27.10.

I investigated this problem and I noticed that probably there is problem 
with rtnl_lock().
Below there is backtrace for three tasks I've got from logs:

I've made some patch for r8168 driver and it seems it works, but I'm not 
sure if I did it correctly or if it isn't too dangerous solution :)
The patch is in attachment. With this patch the "ifenslave" command 
doesn't hang as earlier.
Can anyone review it?
