Im posting this here just to keep the question/answer in archive,
someone will probably have similar problem.
It is an extract of the DragonFly chat channel today earlier.

	<Sdav_>	hello, i just bought a realtek 8139 card but it is not
detected (it was not detected with FBSD neither, because the vendor id
was not recognized) where should i add this vendor id to use rl driver
on it? same place than FBSD? thanks for any data.
	<swildner>	Sdav_: what are the ids?
	<Sdav_>	none0 at pci0:8:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00000000
chip=0x81391904 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet    // extracted from pciconf line command
	<swildner>	yea that's not in if_rl.c
	<swildner>	it's not supported yet.. the id is not in if_rl.c
	<Sdav_>	i had another rl8139 before that worked, but this one is not working.
	<swildner>	Sdav_: *here was an url, i will just pasted the code here:

	<Sdav_>	okis, thanks for the help, i will tell ya later what happened

ups? I guess someone will find this usefull in the archive some day
	<swildner>	Sdav_: that should be no problem :)
