How does one know which chip he has.. I have allied telesyn and some
other noname card, that use the rtl8139 chips.. lspci says this:
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 10)
00:14.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 10)
00:11.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 10)
(I suppose that is not the rtl8139C class)

But I still get errors saying:
eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 8616  dirty entry 8612.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. (queue head)
  eth0:  Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000.
  eth0:  Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000.
  eth0:  Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.
  eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability
  0000.
