// The 8139 isn't an NE2000 clone. RealTek does make NE2000 clone cards,
// but those use the 8029 and 8039 chips, which are 10Mbps only. The 8129
// and 8139 are fast ethernet controllers (the difference between them
// is the 8129 uses an external physical interface chip whereas the 8139
// has one built in).

But the 8029 (and probably 8039 also) does have media select and full
duplex support.  Are there any plans to add support for these in the
ed driver ?
