I can confirm this behaviour on 2.6.27 + all r8169 related updates cherry 
picked from linux-2.6 git[1]:

This is the relevant diff between the non-working[2] (all current updates 
applied on top of 2.6.27) and the working[3] variant including your revert
below. With that revert, everything seems to work well again.
