If you apply Herton's series of 9 patches, you should see a throughput
improvement. On my card, I get full performance from the 54M rate (27 Mb/s),
whereas the best I could do before those patches was 11 Mb/s.

Incidentally, making the Realtek drivers work on x86_64 is not that difficult.
In any place that they cast a pointer as (u32), that gets changed to
(__kernel_size_t). The other place that is affected is due to changes in the skb
buffer parameters tail and data, which are pointers in 32-bit, and offsets in
64-bit systems. The main point is that you cannot ignore any gcc warnings.
