[ade05fr]

Hi

i have a LAN connection with my laptop and i use the rt8169 module to my pci ethernet card but i think its very slow

Code: Select all

localhost ~ # ifconfig eth0
eth0      Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:d3:4d:3c:a2  
          inet adr:192.168.0.100  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Masque:255.255.255.0
          adr inet6: fe80::216:d3ff:fe4d:3ca2/64 Scope:Lien
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

It should not....
I'm using the same module as well and no problem. (Actually I had the same laptop than your signature)

Which kernel are your running on?

When you say slow, does it mean slow on your network or on Internet?
Can you double checked your speed by download a Gentoo iso on a server close to your area?
May be check with something to speed the download (I'm using downthemall as Firefox extension, nice one !)
