Doesn't help for this problem. However this fixes a second issue for me: In 3.7.1 at startup the link came up after 15 sec.: grep r8169 dmesg.3.7.1 [ 1.956842] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 1.957059] r8169 0000:02:00.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X [ 1.957161] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: RTL8168evl/8111evl at..

This fixes the problem for me!
