I tested on 6-7 servers running with eepro eth0: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100], 00:E0:18:01:78:6C, IRQ 10.
realtek 8139too with NAPI 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27 realtek 8139too with no NAPI (standard driver with soft polling)


If this quick test is correct, realtek 8139too's driver works as good as
eepro's driver.

Those are some nice numbers! I may have to bring some of my $5 realteks out of retirement! Anyone make a 4-port NIC with realteks on it?
