I can't say for sure about FreeBSD being a newbie myself, but Realtek NICs
have proven flakey at best on Linux systems and generally to be avoided.

We generally stick to Intel and 3COM NICs (there's a local PC recycler here
that usually has 3c905bs available for about $20 each and 3COM honors their
lifetime warranty if there are problems with them).
