one quick comment that's pretty tangential to this discussion: the
Realtek 8139 chipset is one of the worst ethernet chipsets out
there. it's sort of tolerable for low traffic workstation type usage,
but not really suitable for anything serious.
it's mostly just really awful engineering design; the actual
implementation of the design is ok, but it's a design that
never should have been implemented.
i have a couple. they've never given me enough trouble
to cause me to rip them out, but i don't put them in machines
that have to work hard.
