RTL8139 problem with 2.4.4-pre5

[Meelis Roos]

I have used this card since september with no problems on my DSL link.
Now after  upgrading to 2.2.4-pr5 I got the following messages. This may
also be a DSL problem so if this is only trouble report then just ignore
it. However, here it is:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 9358  dirty entry 9354.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000. (queue head)
eth0:  Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.
eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.

The bootup messages:
