This is odd. What did you upgrade from?

You have tried to use an address that is already in use.

I haven't seen that.

It is a driver issue. There are knobs, iirc, for this.

I just posted one. Basically, you just need to translate the mfg and
version strings in the CIS into the first line of the entry. Next,
try the following line:
config auto "sio" ?
and see if that will properly pickup the card. Otherwise try the
config entries one at a time until you find one that works. 0x23 is
typical.
However, make sure the realport card isn't cardbus.
