not an 8139C+ compatible chip, Try the "8139too" driver instead

[jidanni@jidanni.org]

At boot with Linux 2.6.26-2-686 I see
8139cp 0000:00:0f.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip
8139cp 0000:00:0f.0: Try the "8139too" driver instead.
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xe000, 00:0c:76:7d:c6:7d, IRQ 18
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8101'
$ lsmod|grep 8139
8139too                20320  0
8139cp                 16800  0
mii                     4896  2 8139too,8139cp

Questions:
Should it say "trying" instead of "try"? as it seems to try it itself anyway.

If 8139too is to be used "instead", then why is 8139cp still shown by lsmod?

Is my system misconfigured? Trust me that I have not been tinkering with
such details that I barely grasp. All I know is how to apt-get things.
