Hi Eric and Hannes,

The server receiver errors  when I use the atheros:

RX packets:78125369 errors:58741 dropped:0 overruns:58741 frame:0

but on the client side  there aren't any error but the file  is corrupted

I rebooted  the server and did the test with the Realtek:

  file ok , no errors in both sides

I also reset again the server and did a test on windows using samba and 
the Atheros:

  file ok , no errors in both sides

my lspci -vv
