Subject: 2.6.27.19 + 28.7: network timeouts for r8169 and 8139too

Hi all,

[Please CC me as I am not on the list.]

With both 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28.7, I am experiencing "transmit timed out" 
errors as reported by the netdev watchdog, for both my PCMCIA Ethernet 
adapters, using the r8169 and 8139too drivers respectively.

I can readily reproduce the error by generating intensive traffic, most 
reliably by initiating an scp of a large file.

I have attached the dmesg output of the error ocurring for both cards, as well 
as both kernel config files. I'll gladly provide more information as it is 
requested.

Cheers!
~Mik
