There's been a bit more activity on the kernel list:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32962
It sounds like compiling r8168 from Realtek is an alternative, I may try this as there's already a package in the AUR. Though obviously it would be preferable if r8169 were fixed.

Upgraded from .35 to .38 last night and encountered this exact problem this morning (system rebooted), I encountered a system freeze back when I first tried a .38 a couple of weeks back. Really hoping this get's fixed soon (looks like it judging by the bugzilla report), meanwhile it's back to .35.

Anyone tried linux new kernel 3.0rc1 to see if it's fixed? I'm also faced with reboots, Asus P8P67 board.

I would be interested in that aswell, I haven't tried .39 yet either so if that fixes this problem it would be awesome.

Hi guys,
I am having the exact same issue with same driver r8169 with kernel 3.0.0-13-generic
It actually only started for me as of this kernel, and it only happens when I bring my network card close to a max throughput (1Gb), as soon as I start backing up to my desktop over the network, I start getting net_ratelimit errors and my eth0 link up errors repeat a lot and shortly after a full freezup.
Not sure if compiling a new network driver module might do it or not, have not done much troubleshooting yet other than a quick google search which brought me here
