All I can say, over the past couple of years, I have had consistent problems with re under FreeBSD and zip with Intel. That same MB (A78M-M) under CentOS 6.5 had problems with the RealTek too. That system is powered off for the next couple of days and I am unsure of current settings. IIRC, I had better luck with FreeBSD than CentOS with this MB. I have another MB, a MSI 990FXA-GD80, that didn't like the RealTek (8111E) under CentOS 6.5 so I plugged in an Intel.
