[realtek] realtek 8100

[Charter]

Just between thee and me, I'd stay away from the Realtek line
altogether...at least from my perspective, I've had nothing but trouble with
the 8139too module while using Linux-Mandrake 8.0, although I can't speak
for anyone else.

I'd stick with a tried and true NE2000 or NE200 clone or anything using the
DEC Tulip driver (tulip.o).

Just my .02c American :)

Best regards,
Firefishe
