[realtek-bug] rtl8139 - another repeating error (??)

[Dan Miller]

The source code *does* still have the message, in

static void rtl8129_tx_timeout(struct net_device *dev);

The link partner is a Netgear FS108 Switch.  I don't know whether the link beat is dropping, though webstone *does* put a heavy load on the system (both in amount of traffic and in number of TCP connections) ...
