Gerd previously was getting transmit queue timeouts with a v2.6.32-based
kernel; with Debian's 3.1.1-1 kernel, the system hangs instead.  See [1]
for the details, including full logs.

Thanks for keeping the r8169 driver well maintained.  Any ideas for
tracking this down?

Looking forward to your thoughts,
Jonathan
