I (also others independed) finally find the bug:
RHL uses CONFIG_SUNDANCE_MMIO=y on kernel building which causes the
problem.
Looks like this option should be removed or the driver should be improved
(perhaps autodetection?). Imho it doesn't make much sense to add an compile
option which (in case of enabled) break usages of already available NICs.
