Perhaps

There also seem to be some drivers at
http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4BGL-MX
And fyi, I've found Realtek to be rather buggy, both under
linux and windows. Could ofcourse be the driver in many cases..
Yeah there were longstanding problems with realtek but I haven't heard
anything lately. Before going and installing closed source drivers, try
Andrew's -mm kernel tree and see if the problem is fixed there. It's
definitely worth a shot.
Good Luck,
