First of all I managed to reproduce this bug with Gentoo LiveCD 2007.0 amd64
so now Im sure it is not Ubuntu specific. 2007.0 comes with kernel
2.6.19-gentoo-...

Can you reproduce the problem if this module is not loaded at all ?
Please understand loaded as it's loaded but it is not used as well
as it was loaded but I unloaded it before testing.
Fglrx was not loaded just because it fails to build with 2.6.22-r4 patched
kernel. What I noticed is that when the interface fails during the system
startup, xorg wont start complaining about fglrx. If networking is working
xorg will simply load xorg (ati) module.
Restarting interface doesn't solve the problem.
Neither do an 'ifconfig down/rmmod/modprobe/ifconfig up' cycle ?
When I do this cycle before the network fail I get normally eth0 interface
working with the dmesg output shown in dmesg_cycle_good attached file.
After the fail eth0 will not start anymore, instead eth1 will start with the
huge number of dropped packets. Dmesg output from this operation is in
attachmet named modprobe_dmesg. Ifconfig status after operation is in
ifconfig_after_dmesg.
To generate this files I used dmesg | tail command so it is not full output.
I don't know what else can help so I attach some information about
system.
A 'cat /proc/interrupts', a few seconds of 'vmstat 1' a
'for i in $(seq 1 5); do ethtool -S eth0; sleep 1; done' after the watchdog
event and a good bunch of patience.
I attach interrupts and vmstat. ethtool -S eth0 won't generate any output
after network fail. It freezes and can be exited with CTRL+C. I attach also
normal output from your script before the fail in ethtool_good file.
