There is one RTL8139 identified:

rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe000-0xe07f mem
0xe4100000-0xe410007f irq 15 at device 7.0 on pci0 
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:40:f6:b4:76:b1 
miibus0: <MII bus> on rl0
rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> on miibus0 
rlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

And then it finds an Intel Pro NIC:

fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xe400-0xe41f mem
0xe4000000-0xe40fffff,0xe4101000-0xe4101fff irq 10 at device 10.0 on
pci0 
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:30:00:03:c8:06
inphy0: <i82555 10/100 media interface> on miibus1
inphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Given you didnt mention the Intel NIC and the mainboard sounded like a
compact one not capable of carrying too many cards, are you sure the
added card is an RTL8139 and not the above Intel card ?
