You don't get it by emerging a separate package, but by enabling "RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support" when you build a kernel. I have not personally used this card with ppc, but this driver has been around a long time & is maintained by an experienced kernel hacker (Jeff Garzik) so I highly doubt there are any platform-dependencies that would make it break on ppc. -- [email protected] mailing list
