1. logged in as root, edit /etc/conf.modules, and add a line saying
"alias eth0 rtl8139"
2. either load the RTL8139 module immediately by hand (modprobe rtl8139)
or restart the machine (shutdown -r now) which will automatically load
it
3. configure the card as you would any other (e.g. start X windows and
click on the Network icon).

The RTL8139 cards that I have installed under RedHat Linux 5.1 and 5.2
(kernel versions 2.0.34 and 2.0.36 respectively) work flawlessly in both
10 and 100Mb/s networks.
