[Bug 91895] RTL8111/8168B hangs whole PC (r8169) in feisty

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

PC: Asus A6Tc notebook

...
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)

kernel: linux-image-2.6.20-9-generic
$ uname -a
Linux phantom 2.6.20-9-generic #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.20-9-generic (root at rothera) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu3)) #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007

Trying to copy some files over the network from notebook causes system to hang completely. Just power-off/on button helps.
Hangs are at the random position (sometimes it happens when transfered over 300M, sometimes before 50M).

Btw samba (fusesmb too!) is working extremely slow - 10-11Kbps. I think
these issues are linked together.

** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
