First off if you have a distribution kernel still on your system, the
one which was installed when you installed you linux/system, no
mention of it so now its guess work time.
Check /lib/modules/org_kernel_version_number/net for rtl8139.c if
you have redhat 6.0 its already there, just do the follwoing;
modprobe rtl8139.
lsmod to check if its loaded, then use ifconfig to configure it.
I dont use make xconfig however i think one explanation for the grey
text is because you may not have choosen EXPERIMENTAL=y
Try making kernels in a console without X running. compile time will
be a lot shorter.
