Its a rtl8139.. Now a lot of people will bag these cards, but they do the
job. I have about 30 other machines all the same setup
(processors/hdd/memory) differ, but the setup is the same and they all
work fine.

The system is plugged direct ethernet to the network. Not sending any
special information, just brings up the interface.
Basic task of the machine is a fileserver. Plugs into
switch (Yes changed ports on switch) and serves files to the network.
Got me stuffed...
