Hmm, something strange is going on here -- only the first read worked.
The chip is reacting as if it doesn't have power.
I can't tell if this is a rtl8139.

What is its station address under windows?  00:10:41:05:--:-- ?

How old is this machine?

Ahhh, I had missed the detail that this device was behind a bus bridge.
Usually that is unimportant, but it be a factor here.
Is this bridge because the machine has 64 bit slots, or because the
motherboard has a bunch of PCI slots?  Or is it because this is a mini-PCI
implementation?  Can you locate the LAN chip on the motherboard?

The network card is on bus #1, behind the bridge above.

It does claim to be powered up..
