ok, i just to make my description clearer: 'netconsole output hung' 
means that on the netconsole-receiving box (which is not the laptop with 
the problem) i dont get any netconsole output printed. (i.e. UDP packets 
are not being sent by the laptop.) The above snippet is the last i get. 
Otherwise the laptop boots up fine, but has that early tx timeout and 
subsequently no networking. I can still do things on the laptop as 
normal, but eth0 irqs do not advance (are stuck at 5) and networking is 
stuck.

i.e. it's the classic 'eth0 got stuck somehow' tx/rx state machine 
hickup symptoms, with no other bad symptoms such as lockups or crashes.
