Hi,

In trying to get the rtl8139 to work on previous
versions of gentoo I came across a problem due to the
driver being mislabeled. I brought it up then but it
is still there....in original condition.

Its wrong (my guess) in two places. 
First in /lib/modules..../drivers/net/rtl8139too.o
To resolve this I did a cp rtl8139too.o rtl8139.o

And then in the modules.dep file 
To resolve that I had to add the path to rtl8139.o


One of the NICs this driver supports is the DFE-530+TX
by DLink. Yes I realize that it is widely thought of
as a POS but its also very cheap. I am cheap so it
suits me fine. I have had lots of luck with it.

Hoping it gets fixed
RIckp
