I understand that the Realtek chipset is of lower quality, but two
different chipsets are involved here, yet producing the same problem,
and a quick search of the FreeBSD archives shows that the problem is
most likely shared interrupts, and if that indeed is his problem, he
can switch network cards/chipsets/drivers all he wants to, but the
problem will still remain.
