Well, for comparison:


rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem
0xe6801000-0xe68010ff irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:48:54:85:63:3a
miibus0: <MII bus> on rl0
rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> on miibus0
rlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
...
sbc0: <Soundblaster 16> at port 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 on
isa0
sbc0: setting card to irq 5, drq 1, 5
pcm0: <SB DSP 4.13> on sbc0

Annoyingly, I can't seem to find an conflict with either of the cards
over the entire dmesg output (as posted in my original post).  The
Realtek is a PCI card, so they aren't even close to the same address
space as the ISA SB, plus IIRC the RealTek is in some sort of horrible
PIO mode due to the braindead design of the chipset (that's what you get
for paying $5 for a NIC I guess).
