Bug#403782: linux-source-2.6.18: realtek 8169 slow (slower than ubuntu)
Package: linux-source-2.6.18
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: normal
Hi,
the kernel I use is built from debian source and 2.6.18-8 patches are
applied. The r8169 is on a dlink pci card in a SIS 671 system with a 2.4
GHz P4 CPU.
Symptom: Download speed is ok (25 MB/s) but Upload, e.g. the send speed
at maximum reaches 13 MB/s.
This does not happend under Ubuntu 6.10 where I get 25 MB/s in both
directions. You might be amused to read that the 50% send speed
reduction also comes for free with window 2003 (driver from dlink cd).
Cables and Hub are ok and were checked against other computers.
I remember that there was a similar bug report a while ago that got
closed. Please merge and reopen.
Yours Juergen
