Good news. I'm using a Realtek 8139-based no-name
card under both OS/2 and Windows. Your OS/2 drivers
_may_ have a 1-character bug in the text setup.
Mine did. I fixed it and they installed.

The clue was a text compare with the generic Realtek drivers
I found on the web. I didn't really need the ones on the
floppy. They were identical except for a name change, and that
was what had the miniscule error that caused the install problem.

[It's birthday dinner night, so I'm off for spicy tuna rolls.
I'll research what I can when I get back, probably late. ]
