hello, rtl8169 is popular in cheap MB, so it is installed in my many MBs. however, cat /dev/kmesg claims: rtl8169: oui 0x732 phyno 1, macv = 0x3c000000 phyv = 0x0002 #l0: rtl8169: 100Mbps port 0xD000 irq 10: 001fd0169891
the “100Mbps" in the message is correct or not? I also feel rtl8169 is slow, so I replace on-board rtl8169 by intel’s card if possible. > 2016/02/18 22:22、erik quanstrom <quans...@quanstro.net> のメール： > > the 8169 driver is pretty fast.
