Help needed upgrading PCI video card



I decided to upgrade the video card in my old Potato box (Pentium 200Mhz) from a Tseng ET4000 W32p to a SiS 6326.
The motherboard doesn't support AGP so both cards are PCI.

I was hoping it would be a simple as shutting down, swapping the cards,
restarting and running XF86Setup to configure X.

It seems that the SiS card has a PCI problem or a conflict with my RealTek
NIC which was working fine with Tseng card

Here's what /proc/pci says when I have the Tseng card and the RealTek card working fine..

PCI devices found:
  Bus  0, device   0, function  0:
    Host bridge: Intel 82437VX Triton II (rev 2).
      Medium devsel.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  
  Bus  0, device   7, function  0:
    ISA bridge: Intel 82371SB PIIX3 ISA (rev 1).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  Master Capable.  No bursts.  
  Bus  0, device   7, function  1:
    IDE interface: Intel 82371SB PIIX3 IDE (rev 0).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  
      I/O at 0xf000 [0xf001].
  Bus  0, device   8, function  0:
    VGA compatible controller: Tseng'Lab ET4000W32P rev C (rev 0).
      Fast devsel.  
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0000000 [0xe0000000].
  Bus  0, device  10, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Realtek 8029 (rev 0).
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 11.  
      I/O at 0x6100 [0x6101].


The following is from syslog on startup with the new SiS card...

Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfb0b0
Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: PCI: Using configuration type 1
Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: PCI: Probing PCI hardware
Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: PCI: 00:50 [10ec/8069/000240] has unknown header type 40, ignoring.
Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.2
<some lines removed>
Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
Feb 25 20:08:58 monster kernel: ne2k-pci.c: No useable cards found, driver NOT installed.

Unfortunately I don't have the /proc/pci listing with the SiS card installed.
I can put the card back in and print it if it would help.

Can anyone shed some light on how I can resolve this?
What does the 'unknown header type' line in syslog mean?

Thanks in advance

Dave
