Hello,
also after applying the latest patch that was posted on that mailing
list, I have still the problem described in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5137.
So after a network hang with several
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
in the kernel log, I removed the driver ('rmmod r8169') and wanted to
reload the driver ('modprobe r8169'). Now the system crashed:

netif_running(dev) returns true although open() hasn't been called that sets
the function of the timer. dev->state is 6 (I checked that).
Simple fix is attached. Although that seems to fix the symptom and not
the cause, please apply it if you don't have a better solution.
