[arch-general] r8169: transmit queue 0 timed out - dying hardware?

[Bjoern Franke]

Hi,

a box running Arch on AsRock QC5000-ITXPH has some issues with it's 
ethernet chipset since several days:

https://dpaste.org/hVfk

Network is stuck then and it somehow resumes after 1 hour or so.

I stumbled upon https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199549, but 
changing the powermanagement did not help.

The issue appears with 5.6.x and also 5.4.x LTS, now even the DHCP 
request failed after rebooting with 5.6.11.

As it appears with both kernel branches, I hardly believe it's a kernel 
issue. But dying ethernet chipsets on a board?

Regards
Bjoern
