The latest sources of the 8139too driver are always available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/ . If you have problems with
the driver you can also contact Jeff Garzik (jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com);
his intents were to write a better driver than Don's, so he really
likes to hear about bad experiences with the new driver.
