This is a driver for the Silan SC92031/Rsltek 8139D NIC chip. It's a
rewrite of the vendor 2.4 driver for 2.6, and has been lightly tested
on a 2.6.17 x86-64 kernel with the Ubuntu patches (as a out-of-tree
module only).
This chip is found on at least one counterfeit Encore ENL832-TX-RENT
NIC [1], which came with a mini-CD with the 2.4 driver. A slightly
older version of the driver was found at [2]. The main difference
between them is that the newer one has a small bugfix in the RX path,
a lot of gratuitous renaming of functions, all the printable strings
changed to show as a "Rsltek 8139D" [sic], and a PCI ID of 8139 instead
of 2031.
This patch has been modified to apply cleanly on 2.6.19; to run on
2.6.17, just add back the struct pt_regs* argument to the interrupt
handler and to its call at poll_controller(). It compiles on 2.6.19 for
x86-64 as a module.

Seems like it would be best to modify the existing 8139 driver...
