    I suggest building a new kernel and enable the rtl8139 driver as a
module.

    From what you said, it sounds as though you do not have a
gnu/debian distribution installed, which would make my suggestion of
installing "kernel-package" of no effect.

    So, I suggest you download the latest kernel from:

        <http://www.kernel.org/>

and then build it. Here is a HOWTO that should help:
