I think the rtl8139 driver will work with it.


I downloaded the data sheet for the controller chip from the Realtek site:

ftp://152.104.125.40/cn/nic/rtl8139abcd8130810xseries/8100v12.pdf

On page 31 I find:

    VID: Vendor ID. This field will default to a value of 10ECh
         which is Realtek Semiconductor's PCI Vendor ID.
    DID: Device ID. This field will default to a value of 8139h.

10EC and 8139 are the same as the PCI IDs for the RTL8139, so I think it will work.

I hope this helps you. Let us know how it goes.

Marty
