I have machines with Tigon II (ti), Marvell 88E8001 (sk), i82540 (em),
RTL8169 (re), and BCM5750 (bge) interfaces.  The only ones I've ever
had problems with were the Tigon and Marvell, and the latter was fixed
nearly a year ago.  All except the Tigon and Broadcom are running
under 5-STABLE; the Broadcom is running 6.0b5.

I can't comment on the Level I, Nominal Semidestructor, or VIA chips
as I've never seen any.
