Be aware the the specific 8139C+ actually don't have much in common with 
the older Realtek 8139 chips.... The + version is a much more advanced 
new version with real descripter based buffer management and IP/TCP 
checksum offload.

I'm actually also considering it for some projects, and wouldn't mind if 
I could locate a board with it for testing....
