Tobias,

All the reports of this bug so far affect the AR8152 variant of this nic while
you report a 8151. Does ifconfig report "overrruns" after a problematic
episode?
The patch that fixes the problem on AR8152 has been added to the 12.3 branch
of the openSUSE kernel repository but there hasn't been a kernel update
released since. You can test it by using the kmp from comment 26:

or using the kotd packages:
