network card on hp pavilion laptop


I've installed opensuse 10 on an hp pavilion laptop.
If i go to yast -> network devices -> network card, i see this:
Hewlett-Packard Company RTL-8139/8319C/8139C+

1. is this the ethernet card or the wireless card?

2. if i do an internet search on "HP rtl-8139", what comes up is "realtek rtl-8139".
is this the same hw?

Yes the RTL-8139 is a regular Realtek 8139 Network card. Not a wireless one. That is one of the most popular network cards in computers as it is a fairly cheap one and you can find it in laptops, desktops and many other devices.
