[clug] RTL8139 problems

I ran lspci and the output seems to show that there is
no card plugged in. It does find the 3COM card. I have
plugged the Realtek cards (I have two) one at a time
into each of the free pci slots but they don't show up
with lspci. Maybe it's some bios problem but I am not
much of a hardware person so haven't been able to work
it out yet.

Thanks for everybody's suggestins, though.
