It runs you through downloading the driver, compiling and installing it, and configuring and testing the interface.
check whether you have any Ethernet configured.
# dmesg | grep eth
# dmesg | grep 8139
and see whether the kernel has detected your card. Finally,
# lsmod | grep 8139
will show whether the 8139 driver is loaded.
