We also use this chip in a wireless network as the NIC in all AP's. Never any problems related to the NIC. Many radiocards has failed but only one 8139 in 5 years. True is that it is not the first choice for any enterprise class machine but for SOHO, it is a cheap and reliable card. // Bj=F6rn - Manager of ComNe Works ISP >Dear Li Zeng, > >This is a chipset not a brand, a lot of manufactures are using RealTec=20 >chipset's.. >My advice don't use a Realtec based NIC, it resolves in a lot of collisions= =20 >and there are some auto negotiating problems with this dual speed card.=20 >(Drops down to 10Mbit and sometimes you have to reconnect the cable to let= =20 >it work after a reboot) > >This is a Windows Box orientated chipset, FreeBSD simply over load this=20 >chipset. > >Kind Regards, >Zeo Smeijsters > >At 11:43 9-9-2003 -0400, you wrote: >>Hi Bill Paul, >> >>I am looking for Realtek 8139c+ NIC for my project.
