RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support
CONFIG_8139TOO
  This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
  the RTL8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y and read
  Documentation/networking/8139too.txt as well as the Ethernet-HOWTO,
  available from http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto .

  If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be
  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
  say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. This is recommended.
  The module will be called 8139too.o.
