well, it is realtek. It's hard to say why :)

TP-Link TL-WN821 has four versions, v4 is realtek:
see this page:
http://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN821N_v4

if you can, please update this wiki page, provide some images of this 
adapter, and if possible internal too.

Some thing like this will be great:
