At the driver level, there should not be appreciable differences between
the two chips. 8139C+ is the super-cool tulip-like chip from RealTek
with all the speed and features. 8139D is just a small incremental
revision of the chip. It does add a few features, but none that would
affect performance or stability (positively or negatively).

RealTek's 8139C+, and it's GigE cousin 8169 are really nice. I hope
RealTek finds a lot of customers for these chips, because so far they
are both solid, fast, and feature-full.

Regards,

Jeff
