    Hi,

    I just found a bug with my nic and latest versions of Unraid.

     

    I notice my nic was down to 100 mb/s since updating from 6.6.7 to 6.8.3

    I change the cable for a new cat6 and a new port on the switch, same thing.

    I rollback to 6.6.7 and got back to 1000 mb/s

    I updated to 6.9 beta1 and got back to 100 Mb/s

    I rollback again to 6.6.7 and got back to 1000 Mb/s

    My nic onboard my gigabyte 890gpa-ud3h

    In my 6.6.7 it is shown in hardware profile as <setting id="firmware" value="rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw" />

     

    Thank you

     

    Edit: 1h56pm: (back on 6.8.3)

    I installed a second cheap realtek nic and it load the same driver as my onboard nic but the différence is in capability... on my onboard it stop at 100 mbits: eth1 is my onboard

    my eth0 load also r8169 driver but capibility goes up to 1000

    You should post the diagnostics, ideally from v6.7 and v6.8, though it's likely a driver issue, might get fixed on a future kernel.

    Realtek driver support in Linux is hit and miss. For some reason Realtek doesn't seem to give much priority to it.

     

    You can either stick to a working version, or hope they have corrected things in a newer version.

     

    My general recommendation is to go with an Intel NIC
