Dear Li Zeng,

This is a chipset not a brand, a lot of manufactures are using RealTec 
chipset's..
My advice don't use a Realtec based NIC, it resolves in a lot of collisions 
and there are some auto negotiating problems with this dual speed card. 
(Drops down to 10Mbit and sometimes you have to reconnect the cable to let 
it work after a reboot)

This is a Windows Box orientated chipset, FreeBSD simply over load this 
chipset.

Kind Regards,
Zeo Smeijsters
