Description of problem: RTL8101E performance is unacceptable. How reproducible: was tested on kernel-2.6.18-101.el5 Actual results: did not measure the actual speed, but it _is_ _much_ _slower_ than the PCI 100mbit Ethernet card. Expected results: want to have it working as it should be at 1gbit. :)

Anton, this is not possible to get 1Gb because 810x class hardware is only fast ethernet :-). Anyway you can try my latest RHEL-5 kernels with patches for r8169 and send me please here a report. There are at: http://people.redhat.com/ivecera/rhel-5-r8169/ Ivan
(In reply to comment #3) ok, my bad ... :) will try the kernels tomorrow.
Ethernet works perfectly in the kernel from http://people.redhat.com/ivecera/rhel-5-r8169/. Thanks!
