I can't reproduce this, so I've launched a request at fedoraforum.org
hoping I can snag a Fedora user who's encountering the bug and willing
to test.

The tx timeout reports at kerneloops.org appear to be happening on a
startling variety of network drivers (startling to me, anyway): r8169,
atl1, atl2, sis900, cdc_ether, orinoco_cs, tg3, ne2k-pci, via-rhine,
8139too, ath_pci, e1000, gl620a, sky2, hso, fealnx, forcedeth; probably
others, but I quit looking.

Is it correct to assume all these drivers are showing symptoms of the
poor timeout handling you mentioned in your r8169 comment, or is the
occasional tx timeout to be expected, and the leaders in this category
(r8169, sis900, atl1) are the only ones suffering from deficient
timeout handling?
