       I am using the kernel with the installation ie 2.0.38 and I did
all that u had suggested. I put an entry in /etc/modules and also got
the file rtl8139.c . now, however, I am getting a shady problem. how do
I compile it?? I can't find any cc/gcc on my comp and if I compile it on
other comps, running redhat, I get version mismatch.

btw, do I need to do "insmod rtl8139"?
also, what is the 'auto' entry in /etc/modules and why is it commented
by default?
