The rtl8139 is Donald Becker's driver. A fine driver. But not
shipped with Linux. You probably meant the 8139too driver, a forking
of the code, which is shipped with Linux. Either should work fine if
you have it. But you probably have the 8139too driver at install
time.
The 8139too driver is compiled into the bf24 kernels. But not the
optimized kernels like the i686 kernel. Therefore you need to put the
module in /etc/modules when or if you upgrade to one of the optimized
kernels which has caught many people.
