Hi,

Does the Etherlab 8139too driver work with the RTL8139D chip ?

More details:
According to the mailing list archives, the easier driver for Etherlab 
EtherCAT master is the 8139too. This driver is for the Realtek 8139C family.
Nevertheless, it seems that the RTL8139C is not produced anymore,

Today it is easier to buy a NIC with RTL8139D chip
For example:
- Trendnet  TE100-PCIWIN
- TP-Link   TF-3239D

If I want to run the Etherlab 8139too driver:
- Can I buy a new NIC with a RTL8139D chip ?
- Or should I try to find an old NIC with a RTL8139C chip on Ebay ?

Thank you very much for your help
