'Fixed' with a hack to kudzu to recognize those cards. Should be in 0.99.67-1.
I am unable to boot normally on this laptop to test 8139cp, but when I boot with "pci=conf2" it seems unable to use 8139cp module. Is this normal? (This is with kernel-2.4.20-pre-4-ac1.)
pci=conf2 is only supported by some very old mostly 486 chipsets pci=conf1 is used by all modern systems
