On my system, the RealTek card isn't autodetected. I have PCI BIOS support
on, but it seems that my card isn't detected by the driver.
I have the following line added in /etc/conf.modules:

options eth0 io=0xe800 irq=11

Without io= statement, the ne driver does no auto-detection; If I ommit the
irq=11 statement, my system hangs. So even for the RealTek card the driver
doesn't do proper autoprobing.
