Well, I think I may have figured this out???
When comparing the coreboot to original bios PCI Bridge 00:1e.0  
registers, it seems if the LAN controller wants use of the PCI bus it  
needs to request it. Kind of funny:-)
With coreboot register 0x82 (PCI_MAST_STS?PCI Master Status Register)  
is defaulted to 0x00. The original bios has bit 6 set (0x40), which is  
"The ICH4?s internal LAN controller has requested use of the PCI bus."  
So if I set this bit, coreboot should find the device when scanning  
the bus, correct?

I will try it out later tonight and report back.

Thanks - Joe
