Weird. I've generally used AOpen rtl8139 jobs, and the Kingmax cards we
had at home definitely weren't realtek based. Perhaps they just put on
the cheapest chipset available at the time? Ours wanted the tulip
driver.

I'd look at the cards to check but for the obvious problem of their
utter destruction and disposal.
