more /proc/pci
    Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev
16).
      IRQ 11.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
      I/O at 0x2000 [0x20ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd9001000 [0xd90010ff].

I use 2.4.5, and I think everything is fine.
