Comment 11 for bug 46081

I have Interpid box with RTL8169 chipped gigabit NIC from REPOTEC. When I am copying from samba share to XP machine transfer speed is about 38MB/s, but when I try to copy file TO samba share, the transfer speed is fluctuating between 500 KB and 8 MB/s.

However, I am able to copy four files simultaeously from my XP machine with Raid 0 disks and they are being pumped to samba in same speed, higher than one file alone :) , stable about 9MB/s It is interesting bug and also long lasting I see.

So there is no other option than buy another crappy NIC? - i googled a whole world to find any solution, but I found nothing :(
