Hi,
When using kernel 4.18.5 the Realtek 8111G network adapter stops responding under high system load.
Dmesg is showing no errors.
Sometimes an ifconfig enp3s0 down followed by an ifconfig enp3s0 up is enough for the network adapter to restart responding. Sometimes a reboot is necessary.
When copying r8169.c from 4.17.14 to the 4.18.5 kernel, networking works perfectly stable on 4.18.5 so the problem seems r8169.c related.
Here the output from lshw:

Thanks in advance for looking into this,
