lisai9093 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just wondering if you have any plan to support rtl8101e in future? The official one is quite buggy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mieze Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Just wondering if you have any plan to support rtl8101e in future? The official one is quite buggy.... Sorry, no, because the RTL8101e is a Fast Ethernet NIC which is not supported by the underlying linux driver. Mieze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the transmitter doesn't support checksum calculation for jumbo frames it makes no sense to add support for jumbo frames because checksum calculation would have to be done by the CPU.

Mieze Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Even when the system as CPU cycles to spare? would it improve network performance on high performance systems? Thanks, g\ Checksum calculation by the CPU causes cache churning, which seriously degrades system performance. You should keep in mind that when the NIC is sending at full speed more than 100MB/sec would get loaded into the CPU cache preempting other entries which results in a slowdown of all running processes. As the packets are outbound the data won't be used again. By the way, the network throughput gain with jumbo frames is minimal, only a few percent which makes it a bad deal taking all the disadvantages into account.

Scellow Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi Mieze, do you plan to support the Realtek 8105E ? The official driver support only 10Mbps , when i switch to 100 i loose the connection, the windows and linux driver are working perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicura Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi, I now tried a lot of different things but currently only the Ethernet adapter gets recognized by the system but getting an IP via DHCP is not possible and also setting it by myself doesn't get me to the network.

pkdesign Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just updated to Mavericks 1.9.1 and the driver seems to work perfectly well still. One question, should I not get 1000 Mbit/s with a gigabit network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, should I not get 1000 Mbit/s with a gigabit network? Yes, you should but sometimes auto negotiation fails or some component (switch, cable, etc.) prevents 1000 MBit/s connections to be established. Try to set connection speed manually.
