Ok, got that but when I did the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
I got Kernel stack overflow in process e4054000, r1=e4054570
Are they in the correct location? I have the driver.o files in the
/lib/modules/2.4.10-12a/net directory.

David,
In your /etc/modules.conf file put something like:
alias eth1 rtl8139
You will also need to create a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
with the appropriate interface and IP address.
Also, do a 'depmod -a' to recreate your dependancy file. If you don't
see any errors you should be able to do 'modprobe rtl8139' and it will
load pci-scan and then rtl8139.
Then just do a '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart' and you should be
in business.
Hope this helps.
