	rtl8139 is Donald Becker's original driver.

	I assume you're using a 2.2 kernel, right? Otherwise (2.4 and 2.5) it
should be 8139too and 8139cp (which is EXPERIMENTAL - for the RTL8139C+
chipset).

	In that case, you need networking and general PCI support, then the
rtl8139 option will become available.
