Slow TX201 adapter

Hi
I have purchased a TX201 for my machine running Kali and Win7.
I was unable to make it work on Win7 due to driver signature problem ! I have tried the driver on the CD and I have also downloaded the driver from Realtek and still windows says that it cannot confirm the digital signature of the driver.
When it come to Linux-kali, I have managed to install the driver (latest version from Realtek) however it runs very slow and it's far from the 2.5G ;-)
My pc is directly connected to the 2.5Gb/s port on my provider router. So NO intermediate switches or devices. I am using a Cat8 cable. I have a 2Gbit provider link. I have tried nperf and speedtest servers and never went over 660Mb/s.
When using the 1Gb card of my PC (on board of my motherboard card) and my macbook 1G adapter using the same network configuration and same websites to test I can reach a little bit more than 900Mbit/s bandwith !
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
On Windows i had to change few settings in order to install the driver, and had to change the default parameters (of course i can send you a copy of the actual config).
On linux, had to use the driver from realtek and change the default parameters.
