I have a relatek rtl 8139 based zebronics ethernet card after a lot of struggle i manged to obtain the drivers that compiled properly. But after doing depmod as the readme file said, what do i do next..
Support for 8139 chipsets is included in the kernel - so I am not sure which "driver" you have obtained but it's probably unnecessary.
It should already be available as a module (called 8139too) in the default FC2 kernel. Just do: $ modprobe 8139too
To autoload the module you would have to add something like this in /etc/modules.conf: ### option rtl8139 - ethernet card alias eth0 8139too ###########
BTW: If your card is based on RTL-8139C+ chipset it has a totally different driver (called 8193cp) - just make the changes above accordingly. You can also check which modules are available with your kernel using: $ modprobe -l
