RTL8139 Question

[Weston Sewell]

I'm not sure if the A matters, but you can most likely use the RTL8139 driver for
this card.  Keep in mind that the card manufacturer could be anybody, you me or
whoever can produce a little green circuit board and buy some ethernet chips.  In
most cases what matters is the chipset (ie RTL8139A as you found).
