Put the module back / leave it where it was put by the module's install 
make target or however you got it.

Instead of using insmod, use modprobe on the 8139too it will pull in the 
mii module as well (if it's available). You could insmod mii and then 
insmod 8139too, but in general it's better to use modprobe.

Even better (IMO) is to use modconf. It will let you choose from the 
available modules, load the module, and update your config files to load 
it automatically when you boot up.
