That driver successfully recognizes my RTL8139 card and configures it 
for MiNTnet (static IP setup).
As soon i attempt to transfer data, the system hangs or just nothing 
happens.

This is due to some DMA problem in CTPCI yet to be solved, i've been told.

RTL8029 cards are not available in 3.3V version.

The Hades 8139 driver uses offscreen memory of the ATi gfx card in Hades 
for buffering DMA
transfers, so that one doesn't work on anything but the Hades.
