I hear that story very often, so often that I almost think it's a fairy
tale. :-)
Most of the times the "RealTek NIC" story is told, it isn't backed up
with any references to evidence. Draw your own conclusions.

I can only tell in my experience (several motherboards from
different manufacturers) with integrated RealTek NICs, both 10/100 and
10/100/1000), RealTek NICs have mostly been working as advertised,
without trouble.
