Subject: odd RTL8139 quirk.

I've just been playing with a model 2 OQO, which has an RTL8139.
It gets detected just fine, though it doesn't actually work..

eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf8830000, 00:00:00:00:00:00, IRQ 18
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139'

The null MAC address being one clue.  Another oddity is that
ethtool reports that there's no link detected, even though there is.
(Enough for it to PXE boot a kernel from at least :)

Futzing with the debug= modparam didn't yield anything extra at all.

Any clues?

	Dave
