I am having a problem were the Realtek network cards are not seen in aptosid. I've used these same exact NIC's in a previous server running Debian 5 but they are not being seen now.

Bump. Same problem with Aptosid 2011 (KDE full) with a EVGA E758 board.

there is one big difference in that regard between debian 5 and aptosid (or debian6 as well) you need to provide nonfree firmware by yourself.
on the other hand your kernel is quite old.
but the card not being seen is a different story
according to lspci your ethernet card is: 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)

That card uses the forcedeth driver not the realtek one. Also definitely a good idea to update the kernel as well
