You have two things going on here:
Put the module name for your card in /etc/modules then it will be loaded on
boot.
ifconfig is used to configure your card but is lost at boot which is why you
edit /etc/network/interfaces.
After editing /etc/network/interfaces and running -
# /etc/init.d/networking
if everything is ok then you have that done.
Put rtl8139 in /etc/modules test with a reboot.
Your networking should work now the way you want it.
