BAD realtek 8169 module
============================
Hi Everyone, I hope this helps.
I had a similar problem on Feisty ( 2.6.20-15-generic and 2.6.20-16-generic) with SAMBA going REALLY REALLY slow.
Tried alll sorts of smb.conf tweeks.. no luck.
However I noticed that SAMBA access would go fast when 2 different windowze machines were basically accessing the same files
Followed the readme instructions to build and install.
After rebooting I found I had the 2 modules (r8169 and r8168) loaded :-(
So I manually removed both and then manually loaded the r8168 module
'bounced the network (/etc/init.d/networking restart) and presto.. super fast SAMBA access

I eventually resolved it by downloading and compiling a new module/driver for the on board Realtek NIC RTL8168B/ RTL8111/ RTL8168/ RTL8111C NIC from the Realtek site: www.realtek. com.tw/ downloads/ downloadsView. aspx?Langid= 1&PNid= 5&PFid= 5&Level= 5&Conn= 4&DownTypeID= 3&GetDown= false
The default install of Feisty created a module r8169 for my machine.
