Troublesome r8169 driver
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2009 7:54 pm
The famous "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8169): transmit timed out" is also affecting the fitpc2. I get it with a stock ubuntu 9.04 version. My workaround that works ok when connected to a 100mbit switch is to turn of TCP Segmentation Offload. That with "sudo ethtool -K eth0 tso off".
