Got the same chip on my NIC. At what speed does it not work as expected?
Mine works but freqwently locks the network service so it has to be
restarted.

 Hi all
 I did send this in when the server was down so it looks like it got
 lost.
 
 My cable connection is not as good as it could be, so called out the
 cable guys and to my horror, his win98 laptop downloaded faster than
 this machine,
 My current NIC is a realtek 8139, and I always thought a linux machine
 would floor a poxy winyuk machine.
 What NICs are known to work well , ie fast..
 
 
 TIA
 Richard

The realtek 8139 equiped NIC's works but many problems is reported.
Free BSD says that the 8139 is unstable when auto negotiation. My cable
ISP wants half duplex and networkservice hangs when downloading.

too find out wich one it is on the NIC? (no screwdriwer) Diference?
