Your full dmesg from boot would have been more useful, but I think you have the 
issue of dma with these 32 bit controllers failing when you have lots of ram.

do you have 4GB or greater of ram?

your hardware is failing to send *all* packets, as in it never succeeds in 
sending any.  this could be an interrupt problem (so please check 
/proc/interrupts and make sure you get an interrupt for your eth0 interface 
every two seconds) or a dma issue, or maybe even a hardware failure.

I guess the other option could be that it doesn't like the IPv6 packets for 
some reason.

we have a patch at sourceforge in the patches section, that patches in an 
e1000_dump function.  This might be useful to see the output from.  When you 
get a tx hang it will dump a ton of data into dmesg and if you could send us 
that it would be great.

let us know if you need help applying the patch.
