There was an email in this list this month, saying that the 8139c
wouldn't work with the NetBSD driver. Quote:

| Hi,
| 
| We have a customer who just contacted and informed us that Realtec RTL8139c
| chipset does not function under NetBSD 1.5. Our customer used to get
| 10/100Mbps PCI card with RTL8139b chipset, it was working perfectly under
| NetBSD but unfortunately Realtec has discontinued RTL8139b chipset.
| 
| We manufacture a variety of PC networking product. One of our current
| 10/100Mbps PCI cards, TE100-PCIWA, is based on Realtec RTL8139c chipset.
