I have one box with an A7V8X-X which has on-board ethernet, and both 10.0 and 10.1 were found and configured easily. The chipset it uses is Realtek. OTOH, you can always disable it and put the SMC card in if you do have any real problems - which I don't expect - but then I'm fairly sure the SMC 10/100 cards use the Realtek chipset as well. :-)
