You have r8169 not r8139 (which actually isn't the name of an existing module, though there are 8139cp and 8139too). This bug was previously reported <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10180> and fixed upstream (commit 523a609496dbc3897e530db2a2f27650d125ea00). It will probably be possible to apply this fix in a stable update. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance. - Robert Coveyou
