You're running an old version of the kernel, and the driver was patched to fix that issue in 2.6.30. It is also in the 2.6.29.x stable series, and I think maybe the 2.6.28.x series -- please try those and see if you problem is resolved.
We're aware of a possible issue with the fix in those kernels, and are working it in another thread. A quick search of the archives should turn it up. Will you be willing to test patches?
>From your dmesg, it looks like you have 8169c's, running in MSI mode. Can you please confirm this by sending your /proc/interrupt info: cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth0
Also, in the future, please cc netdev on network bug reports. Thanks!
