I am also experiencing the same slowness issue with my new installation of Ubuntu 11.10 with the latest version of all packages. I use GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2HB3 which has this Realtek 8111e chipset. I was thinking that the grade quality of my cable was not good enough for the 1GB/s connection, but I now realize this is not the case. I also experience a disconnection every few minutes, and transfer is very slow.
