I can reproduce it when needed. Only need to scp a giant file out to another gigabit enabled machine, issuing eg, scp -c arcfour <source file> <destfile> It's a specific NIC problem, as I have another 3 PCI NIC's, also using the r8169 driver, and all of those work fine. The NIC that does not work is an integrated PCI-E NIC. Details are as follow:

This is first time install. It happens on a 2.6.29-rc5 on x86_64 Kernel. It is not a clean vanilla, but an openSUSE Kotd Kernel. However, by taking a wide look at openSUSE's source rpm, i found no patch that could trigger this... I could test it with a vanilla kernel. It would be hard to compile a kernel on a Dual Atom 330 cpu but, is feasible...
Is there any patch I can try before trying anything more elaborate ? I've scanned the 2.6.29-rc5 r8169 driver and found no specific tweek for this NIC ( RTL8111/8168B ), so it may be a case of lack of support for it...
Also CCing driver maintainer Francois Romieu and netdev ML.
