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.
