There is no difference, there is a mistake : I have had some problems with
multiple card support, including drivers for RTL8029 and RTL8139, and the
"wrong" one was used --- but _this_ has been fixed. So sorry for the
mistake, thanks for pointing it, but if you have fixed the problem with the
right driver, have you contributed your patches somewhere ?
