similar to: Odd thing with Realtek Ethernet card

Hello listmates, As some of you may know we have been having a really bad problem with Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 cards. See here for details: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?24,140124,140224 So now my question is, what PCI 1 Gbit/s Ethernet adapters should I use under CentOS? If you have had a consistent positive experience with any particular chipset/brand please speak up.

Greetings, I am tearing my hair at getting this to work under centos 5.5/Ubuntu 10.04. Any suggesstions (Repos, RPMs etc)? My MB Intel embedded NIC blow up after a lightning (Mumbai get _real_ heavy mansoon rains inter alia). I want this to make work under Centos 5.x (and 6.x subsequently who DVD I have been downloading with a pithy 128kbps connection). -- Regards, Rajagopal

Completely agree. I used to have 8139c cards in my home machines, on a switched 100mbit network, including a Dual P3 server that I run 4 x 80G drives with a HPT454 RAID5 array (software I know, but the dual P3 copes admirably), both the server and my main desktop (dual Athlon MP 2600) were getting to the point of being unusable when such high CPU useage when transferring large documents (Quark

Hello, I just noticed that our HVM guests seem to be showing consistent collisions on the Realtek ethernet driver. Has anyone else noticed this? A typical FreeBSD guest will have # of output collisions almost on par with # of output packets after a few weeks of "normal" traffic (mainly doing work through ssh). Xen 3.2.1. Regards, Mark

One last shot in the dark: what if you reboot the router in front of the node in question? Sometimes it was surprised, when managing different mac addresses on the same adapter. I might be missing some parts, but did the mobo work before? Best regards Zoran

Hi all. I have two servers 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5PAE CentOS release 5.7 (Final) Both have two external gigabit network cards (installed Planet with Realtek r8169 chipset). lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Hi all, Our intranet's WAN interface just stopped working yesterday, and I can't figure it out. The machine has a Gigabyte motherboard, with on-board RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet and D-Link PCI NIC for the LAN side. I can get into the LAN side without an issue, but can't see the WAN side at all. [root at intranet ~]# ifconfig eth0 up eth0: unknown interface: No such device

Hi guys; I'm having a problem with a new pc that has an Realtec ethernet device. Don't know why the driver is not loading and is not detected during installation process. I tried to load r8169.ko unsuccessfully. It load but no device is detected. No dmesg or /var/log/message. ?Any help on how I can configure correctly this ethernet device? This are the data that I have: # lspci

Hi! I?m having trubbles with the speed on my samba server, I just uppgraded to gigabit (Realtek 8169 NIC) at home when i copy stuff from the samba server i get around 5-6Mb/sec and if i use ftp to access the same file on the same server i get almost 30Mb/sec does anyone have a clue what causes this problem? When i used my old 3com 905c for the local net i got normal 100Mbit speed (around

Hi : I am trying to do PCIe passthrough on HVM domu. I have window XP as a HVM domu and xen-4.0. dom0 and domU (without device assign) works fine. I have more than one NIC card.

Hello, I'm trying to install CentOS 5.2 on an HP 6730s notebook. All's going well except for one little item -- the networking. Never thought I'd have trouble with an Ethernet adapter, so I didn't even check before buying this machine; it was cheap. The adapter is a Marvell Yukon 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller. I can't find a Linux driver for it except one that

Hi list, I'm planning to buy a mobo (z170-K) that has Realtek 8111GR (nic). I've tried to search on google about support on C7 but can't fine anything. There is a way to check if supported? Is the Realtek 8111GR supported or I must change mobo? Thanks in advance.

I found (and fixed) a problem with my realtek onboard 8139 controller. dhcpd server sends filename "pxelinux.0" but realtek requests "pxelinux.0\377" (i.e. the octal character 377 is appended), resulting in a file not found during the tftpd phase. I fixed this by adding a mapping to tftpd: # strip ending garbage from filenames (Realtek PXE bug) r ^([[:graph:]]*)(.+)$ \1

Greetings- I'm attempting to get CentOS 5.5 x86 (yes, very specific version required for specific software usage scenario... don't ask) running on an Intel D425KT mini-ITX motherboard. Everything works fine, with the exception of the onboard ethernet, which is a Realtek RTL8105E chip. The stock CentOS installation attempts to use the r8169 driver, which does not work. I've been around
