Linux decides what drivers to use with what cards based on their PCI ID's, and may not recognize the Honeywell card because of its funny ID. If it really is a normal Realtek card, without any important differences in wiring than a garden-variety one, you might be able to get it recognized by adding its PCI ID to the list of recognized ID's in the realtek 8139 driver and recompiling.
Have you exhausted all possibilities with the realtek drivers though? I believe there's at least two for 8139, "8139cp" and "8139too" since there's two subtly but wholly incompatible kinds of 8139 with the same PCI ID. If you have either of them loaded(you'll see it in lsmod), rmmod it and modprobe the other.
You might even be able to get away with using the generic "ne2000" module, which probes for ne2000-compatible cards ignoring IDs and works for many odd, older PCI network cards.

Hi,
I'm looking for a command to be able to disable a network card under the boot PROM.
I need it to force my Jumpstart to use the Ethernet card of my server (V880) instead of my fiber card (gem0).

DESCRIPTION
The ne device driver supports NE2000 and compatible (including NE1000) Ethernet cards. While the original NE2000 is designed for ISA bus,
the compatible Realtek 8019 chip is widely used on various local busses and ne driver also supports such devices on various machines.
MEDIA SELECTION
The Realtek 8019 (ISA, ISAPnP, some PCMCIA) and Realtek 8029 (PCI) NE2000-compatible Ethernet chips include support for software media selec-
tion. If one of these chips is detected by the driver, the list of supported media will be displayed.
For all other chips supported by the ne driver, media selection must be performed either via card jumper settings or by vendor-supplied con-
figuration programs.
DIAGNOSTICS
ne0: where did the card go? The driver found the card, but was unable to make the card respond to complete the configuration sequence.
