Your vendor id is 1, your I/O region size is 1, and your MMIO region
size is zero.

consider that the driver needs 0x80 bytes worth of registers, at least,
it is not surprising that things do not work.

Miguel, can you 
* download latest pciutils (2.1.5, listed on http://freshmeat.net/)
* boot into a Linux 2.3.x kernel
* e-mail the linux-realtek list with the output of "lspci -vvvxxx"
If this command LOCKS YOUR COMPUTER, which it might, reboot and run
"lspci -vvvx"

Regards,

	Jeff
