Maybe someone can take a look at this driver from Realtek. Direct link to the download. ftp://209.216.61.149/cn/nic/r8168-8.001.00.tar.bz2
As they say in there release notes, they use a modified linux kernel module. ################################################################## release date: 2007/04/13 driver version: 8.001.00 1. This driver is modified from the r8169.c in Linux kernel 2.6.18 and supports Linux 2.6.x only. 2. Support RTL8168C/8111C, the Realtek PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. 3. Support RTL8168B/8111B, the Realtek PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. ################################################################## I have tested this driver and it performances well at download but bad at upload. I have tested Gutsy Tripe 2 and this bug still exists. Hopefully someone could find a way to fix this. I had no system freezes so far, only bad transfer rates over SMBFS/CIFS. As you can see in this bugreport, this problem doesn't exist if you transfer files over FTP. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/114171 Has anybody tested filetransfer over FTP? It would be nice if someone can confirm the filetransfer speed over ftp from about (~25 Mb/s). best wishes Achim -- RTL8111/8168B hangs whole PC (r8169) in feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91895 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
