Message-ID: <23d4c2bf75007d14bcb777b3c5782ea9@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

I'd have to dig the card back out of the box I stored it in but I'm pretty
sure it was an 8139C. There's a comment at the beginning of the driver:

	/*
	 * Realtek 8139 (but not the 8129).
	 * Error recovery for the various over/under -flow conditions
	 * may need work.
	 */

I never saw any errors at all on my card. Perhaps someone who has a
problem could track it down. The various free *nix drivers all have
workarounds for odd chip bugs, I would have looked more closely at them
if I'd had a problem to track down.
