MS must be using some specific workaround or something.

I think there is some lspci-like thing for windows too.

Can you do the equivalent of "lspci -vvxxx" on that box under both
Linux and Windows? _If_ it's some PCI config space thing (which is
not at all guaranteed - it could be about setup in random MMIO
ranges) it might give us some clues.


This is the sky2 issue with Gigabyte 88E8056 onboard LAN.

I've had no luck getting pciutils compiled for win32, but I found a
utility that gives similar output called Craig Hart's PCI bus sniffer
(pci32.exe).

Here is the output of pci32 with hex dump from within Windows Vista:

Here is the output of lspci -vvxxx from within Linux:

I hope this is helpful,
