Looking for RealTek 8139c+ based NIC

[Björn Pålsson]

I have worked with the 8139 for over one year in my BSD box and I never had
any problems with it. We also use this chip in a wireless network as the
NIC in all AP's. Never any problems related to the NIC. Many radiocards has
failed but only one 8139 in 5 years.

True is that it is not the first choice for any enterprise class machine
but for SOHO, it is
a cheap and reliable card.
