The RTL8139 does work with the Darwin iso file. Didn't even have to install Darwin, just typed 'shell' at the prompt and was able to do some tests. 

The ioreg command does indicate the NIC is fully loaded. But I could not make the NIC work. 'ping google.com' gives me this error message: "ping: cannot resolve google.com: Unknown host". Telnet didn't work either. It said there was no route to host. I tried both 'telnet google.com' and 'telnet 64.53.251.42'. I thought the problem might be with DHCP so I tried renewing the lease this way 'sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP'. It said ipconfig server not active.
