Yah. I have an RTL8139 based card as well. I think the problem is in linux, not the card, as I have them also in several other systems (running Windows95 and Windows2000) and they work great there. Upgrading the linux-box from Slink to Potato b2 made no difference (if anything it's more unstable now). The error I get is something related to the PCI bus, followed by an interrupt error on the card. I thought it might be my mainboard (it is an old machine) but now that others seem to have similar trouble I begin to suspect the driver again.
