[Bug 576936] [NEW] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (8139too): transmit queue 0 timed out

Fri May 7 11:39:09 UTC 2010

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit

In contrast to similar bug reports #470277 and #459672 my network
connection breaks irregularly - sometimes after few hours and sometimes
after one day without any particularly reason or error message. I notice
it due completely lost of network traffic and recognize it as following
message in messages.log:
