I've tried it with 8139cp, and it works flawlessly!
Here's the requested output:

Install went very well for a beta. I like the new theme very much,
it looks fantastic. Only issues I encountered are the fact that I could
not resize the NTFS partition to less than 16 GB, although there's only
about 2 or 3 GB in use and I have defragmented it before the Mandrake
install. Hmm, while I'm writing this, I notice that trying to view the
contents of the NTFFS partition (with ls) does not work, ls just
hangs...
Othere strange things I noticed:
- I used a static IP to do the install. After installation, I noticed
that it had enabled dhcp. If I checked the network settings in mcc, I
saw that the correct static IP was saved, but the dhcp-checkbox was
checked.
- The hostname is set to localhost.
- There seems to be wrong with the locale settings, every time I start
one of the Mandrake tools, I got this output from perl:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_GB:en",

are supported and installed on your system.

Strange, because I cannot remember having chosen French somewhere (I did
choose Belgium as country however). So I have no French locales installed:
# rpm -qa *locales*
locales-en-2.3.1.4-3mdk
locales-nl-2.3.1.4-3mdk
I think these are all the problems I encountered. Nice work!
