Just for the record, I'm running a 450MHz Sawtooth:

Linux dp2 2.4.3-pre4 #8 Wed Mar 14 22:54:45 EST 2001 ppc unknown

02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139
(rev 10)

8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.15 loaded
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xd2017000, 00:a0:4b:03:28:92, IRQ
54
eth1:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139A'
eth1: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner
ability 41e1.

I have this running my internal network and I haven't had any problems
with it at all.
