NFS root in openSUSE 12.2 RC1 has some issue (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=774548) that makes initrd creation and bootloader installation fail. Thus, although I had your kernel module in /lib/modules, it was not used because the module was loaded from the original initrd. Unloading/reloading the module while running with NFS root was no option. I thus repartitioned my workstation's disk and installed openSUSE 12.2 RC1 there. I then played around with it for some time and made sure that the dropouts could be observed with such configuration. Next I substituted the original module with your module from the https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=r8169&project=home%3Abenjamin_poirier%3Abnc770760 repo. I spent several hours working with the system and stressting it with NFS file transfers and iperf checks, and I did not experience any dropouts nor did I see the watchdog barking at a stalled driver. I will now continue working with openSUSE 12.2 RC1 for the next time to see if this situation prevails. Hopefully the issue is solved.
