Could you please explain what happens if one inserts both 8139too and 
8139cp and both work for a given network card? In the past, eth0 and 
eth1 both appeared, and only one of them was functional. Cannot retest 
this now because this is not my card.

Try asking this on a network driver development mailing list instead,
they should know.
