IIRC, RealTek NICs are "dumb" in that they make the host computer do a lot of the work that is done on-card on more expensive equipment. This can be a problem if you are running both network-intensive and CPU-intensive jobs, and have a slow CPU, on any OS.
Amirite?

I'm OK with the CPU. Is Realtek a problem with Linux? What's the issue there?
