Are you sure you don't mean 8139?

Seems to **me** they fall into the category of "not worth the hassle" even
on i86, since they don't always seem to compile out of the box with 
make menuconfig even there.

After 3 years of experience with linux pmac I'd suggest de4x5, cards with
generic tulip chips.  Maybe I'm just stuck in the ways, though.
