Apart from that is was not executing modprobe/insmod at all.

Hotplug seems to be a good keyword. I installed hotplug in addition to
pcmcia-cs (sincs pcmcia-cs suggests hotplug, I thought, the two should get
along). Now the 8139too-module gets loaded - and additionally 8139cp, which
fails to load. I don't have the time today, to sort out, which is loaded from
where. Anyway, 8139too seems to be the only working choice. 8139cp fails even
if I try to install it by hand in the absence of 8139too.
Anyway - so far so good. The only thing that's missing, is that the interface
is not brought up, yet.
Well, I'll look into it when I have more time. Thanks so far!
