Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 7.10, Linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP i686 GNU/Linux

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)

The r8169 module works poorly with this network controller. Samba
performance was measured to ~40 Mbit/s, compared to ~240 Mbit/s on the
same machine with Windows XP.

Compiling and installing the r8168 module from Realtek results in ~160 Mbit/s 
performance. Still not excellent, but a lot better. Sources used:
