Bug#805362: linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64: netdev watchdog from r8169 NIC driver kills network
This still happens, and with the kernel upgraded to the latest Debian 
unstable kernel version 4.5.2-1 it seems to occur every few hours, which 
has now forced me to downgrade to a 3.16 kernel.
I release that this system has a fairly old CPU (AMD Sempron 2600+), but 
does the occurrence of a watchdog event potentially highlight a worrying 
race condition?
