An interesting thread ran a short while ago on the UCC list (UWA's Computer Club) detailing how many people found the RealTek based NICs to be flakey and certainly not recommended for game play / "mission critical" systems (at least on PC based systems.)

I do note that Apple System Profiler gathers no substantial info about them but I have yet to see one give me grief and they certainly seem to be working at 100 base (so says my switch.)

Let me know before I spend money on putting RelTek cards in several 10base Macs...

Cheers, Antony.
