Then I installed an AON-325 (RealTek 8129/8139) fast ethernet card, and booted up the generic kernel. I get a boot message "rl0: couldn't map ports/memory", then I don't see the ethernet interface in the ifconfig.

The card is unable to get the resources it wants. Chances are, you have a settting in your machine's BIOS called Plug and Play OS, and it's probably set to YES. Change it to NO and try again. Otherwise you are going to have to move the card to a different slot, or download the DOS utility disk for the card if there is one and reprogram what irq and i/o ports it wants.
