Support for 8139 chipsets is included in the kernel - so I am not sure
which "driver" you have obtained but it's probably unnecessary.

It should already be available as a module (called 8139too) in the
default FC2 kernel. Just do:
$ modprobe 8139too

To autoload the module you would have to add something like this in
/etc/modules.conf:
### option rtl8139 - ethernet card
alias eth0 8139too
###########

BTW: If your card is based on RTL-8139C+ chipset it has a totally
different driver (called 8193cp)  - just make the changes above
accordingly.
You can also check which modules are available with your kernel using:
$ modprobe -l
