Realtek NICs are garbage... For an entertaining read, look at the header
of the kernel drivers. The author goes into detail on why they are such
crap. In my own testing, they do not provide their advertised speeds and
their jumbo frame support is laughable. It's not a question of newer
drivers; The hardware is terrible.
I stick with Intel NICs. These perform way, way better and aren't that
expensive.

Hi to all people
Excuse me if I ask a question from rookie
But tell me that: "the in-kernel realtek drivers of the 2.6.32 kernel were
known to cause troubles. I still have to replace them for optimum stability.
try to install the current version of the driver from realtek ot switch to
Intel-NICs"
So, I don't know how do it, and in this link
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/firmware-realtek say for download the
drivers for Realtek and Debian, but neither know if these drivers are more
modern that the pve kernel.
I have a Kernel of RHEL 6 modified by the authors ans SO Debian squeeze
And to make matters worse, in this country (Paraguay) is not easy to buy
another brand of NICs.
The model of NIC is "RTL8168E" and lshw shows
"firmware=rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw"
and the link of debian (shown above) shows among other models:
* Realtek RTL8111D-1/RTL8168D-1 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw)
* Realtek RTL8111D-2/RTL8168D-2 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw)
* Realtek RTL8168E-1 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168e-1.fw)
* Realtek RTL8168E-2 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw)
* Realtek RTL8168E-3 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw)
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Best regards
Cesar
