Hi, good to see the issue has been opened. Using the r8168 realtek drivers r8168-8.023.00 with kernel 3.0.0-19-generic used to work fine (after replacing the default r8169). Further kernel updates do not allow compiling of the r8168-8.023.00 driver. Using the latest available Realtek drivers at the time and up to kernel version 3.0.0-26 gives very poor network quality. The network connection is very poor with frequent stalls in download and completely messes up streaming media. Alas the stats do not show disconnections. After trying realtek drivers : r8168-8.025.00 r8168-8.030.00 r8168-8.031.00
I have reverted back to kernel 3.0.0-19 so I can get a decent network connection. lspci gives: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
