Bug#514691: problem with the module r8169

[yellowprotoss <yellow.protoss@gmail.com>]

Package: r8169
Severity: normal

The module r8169 which is reponsible of my network eth0 card, is out of order after 1 or 2 days of running machine uptime.
So the trick I used to avoid this bug was in my /etc/crontab:

05 09   * * *   root    /etc/init.d/networking stop ;  rmmod r8169 ; sleep 3s ; modprobe -i r8169 ; sleep 2s ; ifconfig eth0 
10.1.1.2 ; sleep 2s ; /etc/init.d/networking start ; ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.2

but I dont like this way, and the r8169 may be more stable.

Best regards to the wonderful DEBIAN TEAM!!
