There are two drivers available: 8139too and 8139cp.  The 8139cp driver
is designed to support RTL-8139C (note the 'C') chipsets and up only.
The 8139too driver supports older RTL-8139{,A,B) chipsets.

If you're sure your NIC has an RTL-8139C chipset, use the 8139cp
driver--it is significantly better.
