If you can not upgrade the kernel, I can not do anything for you since
several fixes went in after 2.6.11-rc1-mm1.

Regarding your r8169 issue, I suggest:
1) download linux kernel 2.6.12-rc1
2) apply on top of it:
   http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.11/r8169/patches/r8169-570.patch
3) avoid the proprietary tainting module
