I have the exact same issues as Guilhelm above with :
2.6.28-15-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
FYI, this is the mainboard http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=394
Using the "noapic" switch improves things a bit ... the issues happen less often now and the network comes back immediately (usually had to restart the server before) ... but it is still quite annoying.
