 Interestingly, yesterday on -current music was playing from a radio
 stream while when the system began to experience the problem mplayer
 couldn't fill its buffer.  I then tried to ping on the LAN without
 success.  Restarting the re0 interface (down/up) immediately stopped
 the problem and I could ping again.
 
 Afterwards I disabled the re0 interface and decided to leave the system
 running.  The problem so far hasn't occurred.  However, when I looked
 at rtl8169.c I couldn't find any obvious spl or locking issue so far...
