Interesting. I have 4 machines with Realtek adapters. The one that has
a PCI card, with an 8169 chip, doesn't work with MMRE (reported, but 
no reponse, yet - I don't even remember what is wrong). It does work 
fine with the R8169 driver though. It is my newest system, with an 
8168 chip that won't work with R8169 (well, it works for a minute, or 
two, then stalls), and does work with MMRE. The other two work with 
either driver, but I am using MMRE.

Anyway, a hard hang sort of points to an IRQ conflict of some sort 
(not that that helps). You might be able to prove something, if you 
can use another adapter, to see what happens.
