You have r8169 not r8139 (which actually isn't the name of an existing
module, though there are 8139cp and 8139too).
This bug was previously reported
<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10180> and fixed upstream
(commit 523a609496dbc3897e530db2a2f27650d125ea00). It will probably be
possible to apply this fix in a stable update.
