how about
# modprobe rtl8139
or
# modprobe 8139too
if either of those work, put the module name in /etc/modules, and
you should be set. if not, i would guess that you inadvertantly
deleted the module or mucked your kernel install. also, hopefully
this isn't the case, but from my own personal experience rtl8139
based chipsets are really, really, flaky...

generally, try to use it, if it doesn't work it's probably broken :)
