Sudden Timeout Error of RTL-8139 Card

[James Stevens]

This is the same problem I have been seeing. V1.02 of the driver should
stop your networking from hanging, but it does not stop the Tx errors
from occurring. I am hoping that Donald is working on something to fix
this problem, as IMHO, the driver is still unusable in a live
environment.

rtl8139.c v1.02 is available from

  ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/test/rtl8139.c

Another user also reported that this stops the network from hanging.
