As reported a few others places (google "r8169 gig-e" and similar), the r8169 apparently has 'issues'. In my case, I only get 100Mbit out of it (despite being connected to a 1000Mbit switch). Also, the link detection is /really/ slow. My e1000e is near-instant. This might take 10's of seconds or more. ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x0000ffff (65535) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err tx_queued intr tx_done rx_status pktdata hw wol 0x8000 Link detected: yes ethtool -i eth0: driver: r8169 version: 2.3LK-NAPI firmware-version: rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw bus-info: 0000:03:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no dmesg | grep eth0: [ 16.374342] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: RTL8168e/8111e at 0xffffc90000622000, f0:de:f1:94:1b:2c, XID 0c200000 IRQ 43 [ 16.375927] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9200 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] [ 26.760841] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: link down [ 26.761880] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 36.789963] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 46.811547] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 56.833199] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 66.854703] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 76.877164] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 86.897893] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 96.919468] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 106.941078] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 116.962707] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 126.984350] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 137.005927] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 147.027543] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 157.049148] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 167.070716] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 177.092261] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 187.113862] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up [ 197.135467] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: PHY reset until link up ^^^^^ LOTS and LOTS of this I did add "options r8169 debug=16" to /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf I also tried Kernel:HEAD up through 3.11.0-rc3-1.ge924b54-desktop without improvement.
