[realtek] patching 8139too to use in 2.2x kernel

[Benjamin Lee]

A very quick reply ...

Note:
- RH 7.0 uses a 'broken' kernel source
- It also has developmental gcc and all kinds of nasty stuff. IMHO.


My solution for a newbie (?):
- Downgrade to RH6.2
- Go to http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html
  * Following SRPM compile instructions.
  * Install SRPM


Other solution:
- Get vanilla 2.2.x kernel source 
- Compile
- Get new drivers.
  * Compile, etc.
