In fact, from discover-data-2.2002.10.17.tar.gz / pci-device.xml, you can
found :

  <device busclass="0200" vendor="10ec" model="8139" model_name="RTL-8139">
    <data class="linux" version="[2.4,inf)">
      <data class="module">
          <data class="name">8139too</data>
      </data>
    </data>
    <data class="linux" version="[2.2,2.4)">
      <data class="module">
          <data class="name">rtl8139</data>
      </data>
    </data>
  </device>

So for a 2.4.x, kernel it will use 8139too module (I thinks, I don't know
very well how discover2 works).
