I think since his introduction (051c190bce59) the code wants to deal
with no network backend, but the RTL8139D is always available.
On this picture you can se the chipset soldered on the back of the
board: https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Fulong#back
I'll keep the RTL8139_PCI selection and eventually propose a patch to
clean the hw/mips/mips_fulong2e.c.

Thanks for your other reviews!

Phil.
