Surprisingly enough, Realtek's driver is quite x86-oriented. It uses
some ugly outb() functtions without any ioremap()'ping.
We tried to modify it to work for MIPS, but failed. There are some
hard-to-detect situations, when driver just cannot talk to the hardware,
probably due to transmit/receive buffer synchronization. But after some
period the connection is restored (reset?).
