The motherboard's on board Gigabit ethernet adapter was a Realtek, the
add-in PCI ethernet card now dedicated to the HDhomerun was a Linksys
(using the 'tulip' driver).  So to a certain extent, the scenario you
present is certainly a possibility.

Interestingly, over ~48 hours of uptime, the HDHomerun has generated
way more network traffic than the rest of my LAN.

HDhomerun dedicated network:
RX bytes:204858921431 (190.7 GiB)  TX bytes:168445095 (160.6 MiB)

Rest of LAN:
RX bytes:8070386187 (7.5 GiB)  TX bytes:21068097478 (19.6 GiB)

And this particular Linux machine runs 3 virtual machines, is a
Samba-PDC, and several other functions.
