#Only thing I can advise, DON'T use REALTEK-Sh*t as NICS (build-in nic), #you're better off spending some extra money on a good 3COM Nic or #similar..... the Realtek-Sh*t loses lots of packages, when it's working at #maximum transfer rate (e.g. SAMBA)......... as I found out (everybody had #this experience, too?).
I have had generally good experience with RealTek 8139 based NIC's... Easy to install (8139too module) and works every time ... I have had no issues with dropped packets under heavy load - with Woody, kernel-2.4.18 686 smp. Cheers, Pete. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
