Is probing the flash/eeprom something thats not done yet for rtl8139's?

root at grayskull:~# flashrom -p nicrealtek
flashrom v0.9.2-r1015 on Linux 2.6.17 (i686), built with libpci 3.0.0,
GCC 4.4.3, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found "Realtek RTL8139/8139C/8139C+" (10ec:8139, BDF 02:0a.0).
No EEPROM/flash device found.
Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.

I ran an strace on flashrom and just before it says theres no flash
device it reads /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:02\:0a.0/config is this the
contents of the eeprom where the bootrom size is configured?

forcing a read works
flashrom -p nicrealtek -f -r file -c SST29EE010
