[etherlab-users] Does the Etherlab 8139too driver work with the RTL8139D chip ?

[Sebastien Blanchet]

Hi,

After looking in the structure
static DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(rtl8139_pci_tbl)
I have seen that the RT8139D chip is supported.

Therefore I have bought a Trendnet TE100-PCIWIN network card
with a RT8139D chip (it is a very cheap device ~ 7 euros)
and it runs very well with the ec_8139too driver.

Thank you
