Disabling CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET is a bad idea. Don't do that. 3. See tethereal -w or tcpdump on the adequate interface to save a traffic dump. 4. Are you using a binary module for your video adapter ? 5. How does the 2.6.20 version of the r8169 driver behave ? 6. You may setup a cron to monitor an ethtool dump of the register of the 8169 at regular interval. ifconfig and /proc/interrupts could exhibit some unusual drift as time passes on too. 7. A dmesg would be welcome. 8.

CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is set. Check that the magic sysrq is not disabled at runtime through /etc/sysctl.conf. See Documentation/sysrq.txt for details.
