Hi John, I agree that realtek are far from something we could cold call a good product. But I have similar setup (with different motherboard) working without a flaw.
Similar isn't the same. I will not buy a board with a Realtek NIC anymore. I have had problems with them in the past with CentOS. It isn't worth the time and effort to debug for the few bucks it costs for a board with an Intel NIC. Although it sounds like you have a bunch of Realtek PCI NICs in your system. If you only need 1Mbps why not grab some Intel 10/100 NICs. You can get these real cheap off eBay.
