Is this the RealTek 8169S Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet?

For those interested, here are some changes I always use to increase the
performance of the above NIC.  With these mods, I can stream over 20
MBps video multicast and do other stuff over the network without issues.
Without the changes, xmit is horrible with severe UDP packet loss.
