rtl8139 in slink?

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

curious as to why there was no realtek 8139 driver included in slink.  and
it doesnt appear as an option in the kernel that slink comes with (2.2.12
currently -- using the CD from the new O'reilley book) even tho the
rtl8139.c file is there(it failed to compile as a module for some reason)

gonna try again with the 2.0.36, hope i can get the NIC working the only
other machine i got has no floppy drive. dont want to burn a cd with only
10mb on it :/
