I've got an intex lan card with an Realtek 8139d chipset now and I got a drivers cd along with that. I tried compiling the source for the module which they've provided in that CD but was unsuccessful. I used to have a Pronet card with a Realtek 8139 chipset and that was autodetected during installation.
8139D is a bad chipset atleast for us Linux users. I recommend people to avoid it like the plague. Anyway since you have it anyways, I would recommend trying to use NDISwrapper with windoze drivers. It works for Fedora AFAIK. Maybe it works for you too. BTW why didnt you get a Dlink? I recently got a DLink and it costed my Rs.325. It has some VIA chipset. Worked out of the box with Sarge 3.1 ;)
