In this "lspci case" I believe what happens is what once a person (one 
involved with the 8139too Linux module development, well, the fixing of that 
module) told me:
        Some 8139s may, by themselves, lose the PCI ID (it resets to all 
zeroes) by 
no apparent cause, thus being unable to be properly configured by the OS.

        It's worth mentioning that those cards have severe hardware bugs (the 
drivers 
do all the kind of tricks in order to avoid them). By my own experience I 
know it's not reliable to have two 8139s in the same machine, neither to 
allow a 8139 to share an IRQ with any other device.

        Still, I believe using those cards in X terminals is ok.
