The other day I mentioned that 8139too is very slow. It is indeed, very
slow compared to rtl8139. I tried your kernel 2.4 in Mandrake 8.0 and
it's unbelievably slow and there's no module rtl8139. And in kernel 2.2
network performance is greatly improved about 150% when using rtl8139
rather than using Garzik's 8139too.
I have HP EN1207d-TX ethernet card and rtl8139 is wayyyy faster than
8139too. Here's the reason why:

Please don't delete rtl8139 from kernel 2.4 ... it's much better.
