What devices do you have? I haven't found the situation to be as bad as lordSauron says. The Realtek 8169 on an AthlonXP board I have has worked since early 2.6.x with the r8169 driver. The Gigabyte Athlon64 board has on-board NICs supported using the sk98lin and forcedeth drivers. I started with 2.6.8 and those were supported fine.
