FreeDOS does ship the Crynwr packet driver package, which does contain an RTL8139 driver. However, you have to install the package after installing FreeDOS, even if you performed a full install. It also seems to lock up for me when attempting to load it. The PCNet packet driver on the other hand, is installed with a full FreeDOS install, is open source, and does work, at least for me.
