Thank you for replying to my question.

The documentations and specifications of the Realtek 8129 Fast Ethernet
controller chip and the Realtek 8140 physical interface chip can be
downloaded from:
ftp://www.realtek.com.tw/pub/lan

I guess it's not NE2000 compatible because it's a Fast Ethernet card.

Regards,

Jason Liao
