Hi All,
i am thinking about buying a Mini-ITX Server with some Realtek Cips on
the PCI Network Devices. These are
Realtek RTL8110S
Realtek RTL8100C
The Mini-ITX is a Jetway JNF92.
Does anybody know whether they work good or should i keep the hands off
these?
regards Markus

I've got a Jetway J7F4 which has two Realtek RTL8110S devices. They look like this:

eth1 has auto-negotiated 100Mbit/s because it is hard-wired to a device which isn't gigabit-capable.

Thanks for you answer Jan,
do you know the developer e-mail adress?
So 1000Mbit/s is not possible at the moment, but does it work stable?
regards Markus

Markus,
You misunderstood. The first of the interfaces I listed is operating at 1Gbit/s; the second is only operating at 100Mbit/s because the device it is connected to (on the other end of the Ethernet cable) is not capable of anything faster.
I have no reliability issues with these network interfaces. Note though that my mainboard is quite low-end (Via C7 1.5GHz), so that the network interfaces never really get stressed.

Thanks Jan,
do you knonw who is the maintainer for this network device? Or in where
can i get more information?
regards Markus

Markus,
As it happens there is a lot of discussion about stability issues with this NIC in recent[1] kernel versions right here on this list at the moment.
Participants in those discussions include Francois Romieu, Timo Teräs and others. See threads "r8169 mac reading/writing broken", "r8169: fix broken register writes", "r8169: enable 64-bit DMA by default for PCI Express devices".
[1]: more recent than I am using on that machine, which is 2.6.27 (Ubuntu 9.04).
