Network slow on LAN connections

I installed my Yosemite hackintoshs successfully avoiding Tony*. It is stable so far, but I have a networking problem via LAN (Realtek).

 

I am using Linux machines as file servers running samba, connecting from my hackintoshs through cifs:// connections. Boards are GA-Z77M-D3H and GA-Z87M-D3H with Osmosis Bios.

 

In 10.10, these connections are extremely slow. Copying big files of more than 5GB may even sometimes crash the whole network and make a reboot necessary. As this happens on all machines with 10.10, this seems to be a 10.10. problem and not based on my configuration.

 

The whole network stack seems to be buggy. If I, for example, ping to 8.8.8.8, every one of 30 packets gets lost and all packets have enormous latency times.

 

Now before I go into more details about my system and before I try to fix this by changing configuration or drivers, my question is if this is a problem that can be avoided by using other protocols for my server connection.

 

I could for example add Apple File protocol to the linux machine and connect through that or I might use NFS.

 

Would this solve my problem?

 

PS: I am still on 10.10.4 on these machines. Would it help to upgrade to 10.10.5 ?
