    Hi all, I recently bought a Level1 Realtek 8169S, 10/100/1000mbit PCI
    card.
    However I can't get it to work properly as I frequently get checksum
    errors as well as erronous packet lengths. Unsetting the RXCSUM & TXCSUM
    options seems to help out but I get timeouts on my connections once
    every few minutes.

    The card shows up (misidentified) in dmesg as "RealTek 8110S Single-chip
    Gigabit Ethernet" but shows up correctly using pciconf -lv.

    Setting the speed doesn't seem to make a difference and changing cable
    or nic on the other end doesn't affect it either. So my guess is either
    bad silicon or driver problem. Anyone with similar problems using 8169S
    hardware?
