What a pity it doesn't work...
I'm running a few of those rtl8139too on 2.4 kernels (not a single on
Debian, though) and they run very well here (as well as a cheapie can).
Firstly, nothing wrong with 2.4 in general and this NIC.
Secondly, the module seems being loaded. Have you tried a modconf,
uninstalling and re-installing the rtl8139 ? I'd be curious if the
re-install succeeds. If there were dependencies (mii), it should come up
with it.
Last, you should set your BIOS to non-PnP, if it isn't yet. 2.4 is not
fully PnP.
