Just wondering if anyone knows if this has the same 'bad design' as the 
8139 cards. I'm looking at an embedded board computer which can either 
have 3xRealtek 8100B's or 3xIntel 82559's.

The Realtek version is £170 and the Intel version says to contact them 
for a price, I think it's going to be in the £200 mark somewhere, as I 
have seen a board similar somewhere else with 3xIntels (maybe 2) and it 
was £212 ish.. so, if the 8100B's are improved, I'll look into getting 
that and saving me some money.
