If the log doesn't actually say 'Oops', it's not an oops.  In fact this
is a WARNING.  Anyway, the important message is:

'NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (sky2): transmit queue 0 timed out'

which basically means the hardware transmit path got stuck.  When this
happens the driver is called to reset the hardware, but this seems to
have been unsuccessful as the driver log messages are repeated.

As you say this is is not easily reproducible, I'm not sure how to make
progress on it.  Thinking about what might have made a difference: have
you made any changes to the physical network connection recently
(different cable or plugged into something different)?  Was the room
colder/hotter than normal when you started the computer?
