For that, do " lsmod | grep 8139 " to see whether the module is present. If no module is present, then you need to compile the drivers and insmod the module. There are two modules for the Realtek 8139 ethernet card. 8139too is the newer module while rtl8139 is theolder one. If you get something like 8139too or rtl8139 in the output, then the module is present. Check which module you have, rtl8139 or 8139too. Now do "cat /etc/modules.conf | grep eth0" to see whether you have an entry for eth0. If you dont, add an entry like "alias eth0 8139too" in the "/etc/modules.conf" file depending on the module name. Reboot and your internet should be up and working!
