Realtek NIC issue

Hi all:

Installed DragonFlyBSD 2.3.2.750.g517f2e-DEVELOPMENT (Sep 2
snapshot) on my Compaq 301TU laptop.

The Realtek NIC card does not seem to be working,
although the following lines are seen in dmesg output

rl0: <Realtek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem
0xd0100000-0xd01000ff irq 11 at device 8.0 at pci8
rl0: unknown device ID: fff
device_probe_and_attach: rl0 attach returned 6

This is a quad boot machine
 p1: OpenSolaris
 p2: DragonFlyBSD
 p3: NetBSD
 p4: FreeBSD
and the rest three OS are able to detect the same NIC card and
its functional as well (just in case this info helps).

i've an identical 'another' laptop running FreeBSD 8-CURRENT
exclusively and here is the 'pciconf -l -v' output.
