David,

Don't know if this will help, but I'm having no problems with a cheapo 
8139 NIC from Belkin and Debian unstable 2.4.25 kernel.

$ lspci |grep 8139
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
$ lsmod |grep 8139
8139too                15048   1
mii                     2464   0 [8139too]
crc32                   2912   0 [8139too]

(This is a 5Mbs cable connection that has downloaded compressed files 
even faster.)

Good luck!
