I just bought a Hush PC with a Realtek RTL-8139 in it and put Fedora Core 2. The driver is 8139too and works out of the box but is very slow. It's inconsistent - some sites are faster than others, and DNS lookups seem slow. There are postings from people with the same symptoms here: 1. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=940951#post940951 and here: 2. http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2004/May/3109.html 1 Suggests this is power management-related, so I tried stopping the acpid daemon - no joy. 2 suggests that upgrading to kernel 2.6.6 might fix it, so I got that out of testing and upgraded, but still no joy. Realtek's site has some drivers here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True#16Unix%20(Linux) but they look old, and none explicitly say they're for 2.6 kernels. lspci shows: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True#16Unix%20(Linux) /etc/modprobe.conf includes: alias eth0 8139too What to do?
