Do you mean the Realtek RTL8139? If so, there is no driver but I did start
to write one a while ago. However, the datasheet and programming guide are a bit
of a joke and I looked at both the Linux and FreeBSD drivers only to find they
both had lots of comments and workarounds for chip bugs; the disturbing thing
was that the bug sets handled by the two drivers didn't seem to intersect much.
For the moment use the PCMCIA card to get going then you can finish the driver...
