The Realtek 8139 is one of the best cards i've used, and is very well supported. I can't believe that you would have problems due to the chipset.

Possibly the worst ethernet cards *ever* lots of different revisions of the chipsets, driver problems working around hardware bugs and most of them are built at such a price that they can cause real headaches. Most machines I've had with these cards have had them replaced with Intel etherexpress pro (i /think/ i got the name right).
