And if I remember correctly there are few flavors of those cards, also of
the chip series (rtl8139).

if I remember also well there were some funny names of this driver like "ne"
or a like.

I suggest 

        1) identify the correct model of your card!
        2) find out for this kernel which driver is supporting the card
        3) check if this driver is present on the system (locate,find)
        4) try loading it and go on with configuration.
