[Please don't top-post]
I wasn't addressing the problem of the nic working in 2.2 but not 2.4
(I've had this myself with a few RTL8139's), but the more general
problem of using a RTL8139 at all. Friends don't let friends use
Realtek nics!
IIRC, the OP had a problem with which driver (rtl8139 vs. 8139too) to
use - or if he didn't, he'd find that problem around the corner - which
I don't think is your problem, seeing as neither driver relates to your
card at all.
So - what problem are /you/ having?
