This could well be a problem with the nvidia driver as it shares the
same IRQ. The first step would be to see if the problem still shows up
without the nvidia binary module loaded.

Thank for your answer. This problem never shows up if I use only nvidia
driver (the work without network), or if I use only r8169 (without
x.org). If I use both of them I have the hang. Usually the hang appears
if OpenGL is used or network rate is maximal. I tested this regimes many
times before.

If you haven't already, I'd drop linux-bugs@nvidia.com an email to see if they 
have any insight. Not that this can't be a kernel bug, just that it's a bit 
difficult for kernel developers to debug when you're using a driver for which 
we don't have the sources.

As for changing the IRQ assignments, I don't have any immediate suggestions. I 
notice that this laptop has a dual core processor, so I'm guessing disabling 
APIC isn't an option. Have you tried that anyway, just to see if the IRQ 
assignment differs?
