Slackware dropping 50% of Packets
I recently installed Slackware on my machine and, despite being able to connect to the internet, my connec
tion is really slow.
When I run ifconfig this is what it returns:
eth0
Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 14:da:e9:f4:83:f4

Whenever I try to go to Network Settings under System Settings, it always says, "Could not parse the XML file ()."
I don't really know what's going wrong other than packets are being dropped horribly.
Additionally, I know the hardware is fine due to by dual-boot OS working perfectly, and I'm using the Realtek 8111e gigabit LAN controller.
