1. $ ls
arch crypto include kernel mm scripts
block Documentation init lib net security
COPYING drivers ipc MAINTAINERS README sound
CREDITS fs Kbuild Makefile REPORTING-BUGS usr
The maintainer of the r8169 driver is listed in the MAINTAINERS file.
2. Disabling CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET is a bad idea. Don't do that.
3. See tethereal -w or tcpdump on the adequate interface to save a
traffic dump.
4. Are you using a binary module for your video adapter ?
5. How does the 2.6.20 version of the r8169 driver behave ?
6. You may setup a cron to monitor an ethtool dump of the register of
the 8169 at regular interval. ifconfig and /proc/interrupts could
exhibit some unusual drift as time passes on too.
7. A dmesg would be welcome.
8. Please open a PR at bugzilla.kernel.org.

CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is set. Check that the magic sysrq is not disabled at
runtime through /etc/sysctl.conf. See Documentation/sysrq.txt for details.
Please keep Steve French in the loop.
