Be aware the the specific 8139C+ actually don't have much in common with the older Realtek 8139 chips.... The + version is a much more advanced new version with real descripter based buffer management and IP/TCP checksum offload. I'm actually also considering it for some projects, and wouldn't mind if I could locate a board with it for testing....
