Thanks.

[106378.638757] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out

This is a standard tx timeout and can have very different reasons.
Few questions:

- Is this a regression? If yes, can you bisect?
- Can you reproduce it? If yes, which type of activity triggers it?

This is the first and only time I've seen a bug in r8169 on this machine in nine years.
Nothing special, web browsing, git cloning, dnf updating, ...
It's a non-recurring bug.

Now it's running 5.11.13-300.fc34.x86_64, stable as always.


Thank you.
