(r8169): transmit timed out since kernel 2.6.28.7-2

hi,
I am experiencing "transmit timed out" errors as reported by the netdev watchdog since I got kernel 2.6.28.7-2

Re: (r8169): transmit timed out since kernel 2.6.28.7-2

I have the same ethernet driver, no problems here.

Can you downgrade to 2.6.28.7-1 and the problem fixes? If so, use the Arch site to find out the changes in the PKGBUILD, config, patches, etc.
