BAD realtek 8169 module
============================
Hi Everyone, I hope this helps. I posted this with BUG 95460.. sorry about the
dupe)
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
I eventually resolved it by downloading and compiling a new module/driver for
the on board Realtek NIC
The default install of Feisty created a module r8169 for my machine.
I downloaded and compiled a new driver/module for
RTL8111B/RTL8168B/RTL8111/RTL8168/RTL8111C NIC from the Realtek site:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
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
Btw the msdfs proxy made absolutely no difference for me.
