Holy crap!

Those sanos guys know how to cut things down.  113k lines for enough
system to run the sun jvm for windows.

The rtl8139 driver in there is a nicely cut down version of the linux
one.  Not sure how legal it is to relicense gpl code to bsd license
like this but ... 

In any case it's useful as a guide to understanding the linux 8139
driver if nothing else.  I may use their src/sys/net/dhcp.c, as it's
quite complete, after I check to see if there's a GPL parent of
course.

The parent of their dhcp is also GPL, it comes from the lwip project.

Hello,

How complete is the support of the Nic based on Realtek 8139 chipset by 
Reactos ?

I am willing to buy one on ebay as my D-link network card is partly 
supported by reactos (serialized driver) ?

Thanks
