They work fine as a connectivity solution; and to be fare the revision C chips seem all right but don't put them in a server :-) If you need 10base2 (coax) you want the rtl8029; it is an Ne2000 pci card (oh the horror). For the scoop on this see http://www.scyld.com and the network card drivers page. My flatmate has an rtl8139 card in her Windows box and it works fine enough under Linux and windows. Regards, Kerry.
