If you are using the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel, I think that support for that
card is compiled in, and you dont have to insert any modules. If you are
using some other kernel, you will need to make sure that you've got that
module compiled (or compiled into your kernel). To see if you have that
module, type:

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/

and look through the files listed for one called 8139too.o

to install a kernel module, you must switch to root, then type: modprobe
<name of module>

for example: modprobe 8139too

you may need to insert the mii module as well. 

good luck!
