Volunteer. Mine is a Realtek 8029:
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RT8029(AS)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
I/O ports at ef40 [size=32]

Board: SuperMicro P6DGU (440GX,PIIX4), 256Mb, 2xPII@400(Deschutes,512Kb).
The only problem is that I just have a cable connection. Is it enough
a 'loopback' connection (ie, ping myself) ? Does it goes at least until
the card and generates interrupts or stops at the kernel soft level ?
Anyways, if a 128K connection can generate enough flood for you, i'll send
you my results. I am going to test it anyways...
