Ethernet controller

[Gregory Allen]

I am designing an embedded PPC8240 board with an ethernet interface. I am down to 2 choices: i82559 and RTL8139

I prefer to avoid the BGA package of the i82559, but the RTL8139 driver support is listed as having "limited PowerPC testing". I am also curious about their relative performance.

Can anyone speak to this?

Thanks,
-Greg
