BTW, the RTL-8139 cards don't seem to be terribly nice.  I used them when
I first converted to 100Mb switched in my apt.  They were the source of
several instability problems under moderate to high network loads.  They're
cheap initially, but more expensive when you have the hassle of crashes
(good heavens) and buying a new *good* NIC to replace it...

Just my little rant.
