    I've done that, and after a certain amount of fiddling, it finally works!!

    The really odd thing is, that although I could previously only start it
    with modprobe rtl8139 and modprobe 8139too gave an error, adding rtl8139
    to pci.handmap didn't work, but 8139too did!

    Also it now appears as eth0, not eth-pcmcia as I would expect, but I'm
    not that bothered ;)
