Subject: Net watchdog triggering on r8169

The watchdog just triggered on a machine running 2.6.28.6 with
compat-wireless-2009-02-20. the realtek device shares a bridge with a b43
wireless AP.

So well, I'm not 100% sure whose fault this is, but I'd almost certainly say it's
not b43's fault.
At the time this happened, the b43 interface was completely idle and the r8169
interface was loaded with about 10kiB/sec on the TX side.

After the watchdog triggered and reset the interface, traffic resumed and it's
still working properly without a reboot.
