        * The RealTek 8139 PCI NIC redefines the meaning of 'low end.' This is
        * probably the worst PCI ethernet controller ever made, with the possible
        * exception of the FEAST chip made by SMC. The 8139 supports bus-master
        * DMA, but it has a terrible interface that nullifies any performance
        * gains that bus-master DMA usually offers.
