What NIC do you have? Are you sure it uses an RTL8139? I had one NIC
(whose suckiness was much higher than average) which had "8139" printed on
the main chip, but was NOT an RTL8139 (or variant).

I don't remember what type of card it was (it has since been replaced),
but I apparently had to use the "fealnx" driver with it.

When compiling it, run "make dep" before you compile it. That, and
loading it with "modprobe" (not "insmod") should take care of any
dependencies. Besides, once you ascertain that it works, you should never
have to load it by hand.
