I have a CentOS 5.8 box that is dropping packets (just from ping). The network is 8139 RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ Rev 10
Adding the parameters "pci=noacpi acpi=off " has helped but it still happens.
Is there something else that helps the network not drop packets?
This probably won't be helpful, but whenever someone inquires about trouble with a Realtek network chipset someone ALWAYS responds that Realtek network hardware is junk and that you should replace it with something good, such as an intel e100 or e1000 or some such.
Me, I've never had trouble with a realtek card, myself.
