You might need a little more patience using Linux ;-).

You can blacklist the 8139cp module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file 
(might need to create this if it doesn't already exist):

blacklist 8139cp

and if you have 8139too in /etc/modules then the boot process should 
load that instead of 8139cp. I have checked on a machine which has an 
8139too NIC and that works for me. There's a package called nictools-pci 
which has a file rtl8139-diag -- might be useful for fixing 8139 related 
probs.
