I use the rtl8139 by putting both

mii
8139too

in my /etc/modules file.  (Dont put the io and irq parameters, they
shouldn't only be used for ISA cards, as far as I know) I have found also,
that it is imperative to use the modules that were compiled for the exact
version of the kernel you are using.  When you try 

insmod /lib/modules/8139too.o

from a command line after you boot, what messages do you see?  (Make sure
the mii module is loaded first!)
