purtroppo la documentazione che vedo inclusa (Documentation/networking)
sia nei  kernels 2.2.19 che 2.4.10 non mi entusiasma.
Ma vedo che anche per il 2.2.19 esiste un modulo rtl8139too alternativo
allo standard rtl8139:

RealTek 8129/8139 (not 8019/8029!) support
CONFIG_RTL8139
 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
 the RTL8129 and RTL8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y and
 read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) in
 ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO.
 
 If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be
 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
 say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. This is recommended.
 The module will be called rtl8139.o.
		
Alternative RealTek 8139 driver (8139too) support
CONFIG_RTL8139TOO
 This is a sophisticated, multi platform driver for RealTek 8139x
 based Fast Ethernet cards. It tries to work around several not
 well documented hardware bugs in these chips and is also
 usually faster than the original driver. However, 8129 is not
 supported.
 If you are sure you have a RTL8139-based card, choose this driver.
 You can find more information in the Ethernet-HOWTO, available by
 anonymous FTP from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO .
