Nope, this isn't a problem with proprietary :-)
I translated some points:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* corega EtherII PCC-TD works with pcnet_cs.o, but needs to write down
following to /etc/pcmcia/config.
card "corega EtherII PCC-TD"
version "corega K.K.", "corega EtherII PCC-TD"
bind "pcnet_cs"
* corega FEtherII CB-TXD works with realtek_cb.o, but needs to apply a
patch to kernel source.

But in my observation, 8139too patch is already applied into kernel 2.4.27/2.6.8.

...OK, I find what's the problem.
Current discover1-data hasn't DB for 1259a11e.
Here is a patch for discover1-data.
