Doesn't compile, I think you mean this?

@@ -1371,10 +1371,9 @@ static inline void rtl8169_request_timer
                return;
 
        init_timer(timer);

 }

But I think _this_ change is unnecessary, ...

... but that looks good (better than my patch) and should resolve the issue,
too. I can't test because it's triggered only if the network hangs and you
know, the last one isn't reproducable.
