I just installed SL for the first time on an Intel Core Duo box with an
MSI G965M-FIR motherboard. This board has a Realtek RTL-8169SC network
inteface that uses the r1000 driver. Pings show a bizarre pattern. If I
ping every 10 seconds, the turnaround time gradually increases with each
ping until it hits about 2 seconds, at which point it drops back to a low
value and starts climbing again. If I ping every second, I see the
increasing behavior also, with every other ping taking an extra second.
Any clues?
