RE: [leaf-user] rtl8139.o and Bering 1.1
If I am not mistaken, rtl8139 was based on the original Becker driver( God bless him) and 8139too was a more modern rewrite which addressed many of the glaring deficiencies of that chip. By the way, 8139 is one of those chips subject the ethernet buffer overflow security hole, which the 8139too driver takes care of it by padding the buffer with nulls. mii is, I believe, a pci bus scan.

As well as very old. I first saw this rant a couple years ago. At the time I needed an 8139 driver and the RTL8139 just didn't work with the 8139B chip.
