Hi!
i'm still getting random network dropouts, also with the new Realtek 8139-card.
I've noticed, there are several different kexts for this card:
PCGenRTL8139Ethernet-1.2.0.zip is working best for me (even in Leopard), the other kexts (AppleRTL8139Ethernet from Stormdrake, or from a different version somewhere else) show the dropouts earlier.
The problem is also noted here or here.
I'm gonna try the kext from Tiger or buy an Realtek 8169-card.
The origin of the problem seems to be a tcp buffer issue. Maybe the commands
Code:
ifconfig
netstat -m
netstat -s
nfsstat -s
sysctl net
sysctl kern.ipc
may help, hmm...
