You should be asking most rtl8139 driver questions on the realtek driver mailing list. See http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html for mailing list information. This is likely the APIC bug. If - you are running an SMP kernel and - the card status indicates that it is trying to raise an interrupt, and - the interrupt count is increasing boot using the "noapic" option. We use this option on all of our SMP installations. You can run 'rtl8139-diag' to find the card's status, including the interrupt status.
