8139cp 0000:03:08.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip

Hi,

I have had this error message coming up every time I start my PC where 
it seems to be searching for the right driver. The problem is that it 
takes a while at start time for my box to switch from "8139cp" to "8139too"
Is there a way I could tell my box to use the driver 8139too instead of 
it choosing the 8139cp?

Sorry if I am not being clear and concise. I have just started with 
Linux and I am learning at the moment.
