Load the module '8139too.o' either  via the modconf front-end or via the
modules.conf.  If  you want a dynamic  load of the  modules, please edit
/etc/modutils/aliases  and add  a line  'alias eth0  rtl8139too'.  After
adding  do  not forget  to  do  a  'update-modules' which  updates  your
/etc/modules.conf      file.      Usually     modules      reside     in
/lib/modules/<kernel-ver> and  most of the stock  debian kernel packages
have this module.
