Have read the thread and answered there:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network.networkmanager.devel/12437

I'm not on the list and don't know how my post will see or not. Here is 
the copy:

This is the output from coLinux 0.8.0 with three network interfaces:

ls -l /sys/bus/pci/drivers/conet/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Mar  4 00:01 0000:00:00.0 ->
../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Mar  4 00:01 0000:00:00.1 ->
../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Mar  4 00:01 0000:00:00.2 ->
../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.2
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Mar  4 00:01 bind
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Mar  4 00:01 new_id
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Mar  4 00:01 unbind

I don't know how to manage the problem under older coLinux. To patch an
older kernel without PCI support is not doable and not needed.

A new release candidate will be out as copy from current devel version
near this or next month.
