Description of problem: The card RealTek RTL8168/8111 is recognized in 2.6.19 but, in some conditions, works very badly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: doing ssh -X and opening e.g. xemacs takes up to 75s with the driver in the kernel and less than 3s with the beta driver supplied from Realtek (r1000_v1.05Beta1.tar). In 2.6.18 one had to install the RealTek driver.

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
You can close the bug. The driver is presently working much better, but still in fedora 7 the opening of Xemacs on an ssh connectins requires few seconds (on a fast network)
