My machines all have Realtek 8139's, but not ultracheap generics. They're made by AOpen, ALN-825, which was superceded by AON-825. I just bought 5 AON-825's for less than $9US apiece. My 9.0 box downloads Mandrake ISO's in less than 40 minutes each when the mirror isn't overloaded or throttled. -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."
