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).

DPT(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual DPT(4)
NAME
dpt -- DPT RAID Controller SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device dpt
For one or more EISA cards:
device eisa
For one or more ISA cards:
device isa
For one or more PCI cards:
device pci
To allow PCI adapters to use memory mapped I/O if enabled:
options DPT_ALLOW_MEMIO
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
dpt_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The dpt driver supports DPT RAID SCSI controllers.
SmartRAID (PM3???) are "Enterprise" class cards, and SmartCache (PM2???) cards are in the "Workstation" class. The Gen 4 Smart Cache IV
products were a re-issue of the Gen 3 utilizing upgraded (and cheaper to produce) silicon. The PM3334 (Smart RAID III) was not revamped as
there was no upgraded silicon (68040 processor) and it was using the best DPT made. Note there has been customer confusion over the faster
enterprise class card supported by this driver being an older generation. The Gen5 cards are supported by the asr(4) driver.
HARDWARE
The dpt driver provides support for the following RAID adapters:
o DPT Smart Cache Plus
o Smart Cache II (PM2?2?, PM2022 [EISA], PM2024/PM2124 [PCI]) (Gen2)
o Smart RAID II (PM3?2?, PM3021, PM3222)
o Smart Cache III (PM2?3?)
o Smart RAID III (PM3?3?, PM3332 [EISA], PM3334UW [PCI]) (Gen3)
o Smart Cache IV (PM2?4?, PM2042 [EISA], PM2044/PM2144 [PCI]) (Gen4)
o Smart RAID IV
SEE ALSO
asr(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), sa(4), scsi(4)
HISTORY
The dpt driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.6.
AUTHORS
The dpt driver was written by Simon Shapiro and ported to the CAM SCSI system by Justin T. Gibbs.
