It was pretty noticeable before, so I think I'd still have noticed if it was still there. I think 8139too has solved it for me, but I’ve not stressed the network much since switching.

Essentially, low level network access is fine, but if I try to download a large file - like an ISO, or do a dist-upgrade, I will see a network hang. It does resolve itself in a while, or often I keep a root terminal open in which I have ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 which is quicker. It's infuriating, I tried your proposed fix before I think, but I still have the problem. I've actually taken an old 3com card into work with the intention of popping it in the box, but I shouldn't have to! So, sorry... no solution from me either, but at least I can share the misery! CT.
