Realteks seem to have a problem detecting and setting up for the correct speed/duplex. (The 10/100 versions, that is) If you leave them in AUTO negotiation mode they only work right if connected to a 10/100 switch. Otherwise if you have problems they work fine if you hard code the speed/duplex in the /etc/rc.conf file.
