2007-11-02 01:44:55 aldeby description Ubuntu 7.10 with linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22 version 2.6.22-14.37 included driver r8169 gets loaded for device with Realtek RTL8101E chipset which is a Fast Ethernet device. Problem: Ethernet networking has poor performance (with 100Mbps Full Duplex link transfer rates are only ~15Mbps) Expected: transfer rates ~100Mbps Workaround: removing the cited r8169 driver and installing by hand r8101 driver from www.realtek.com.tw then loading it via modprobe enables me to achieve transfer rates of ~ 60Mbps Possible solutions: include driver r8101 into the modules package, remove r8169 driver, fix r8169 driver Reference: the same misbehavior ascribed to r8169 driver but concerning Gigabit Devices with chipset RTL8111 has been discussed and fixed in Bug #114171 in launchpad.
