I don't know where you got your 2.2.17 kernel from, but the one
that I downloaded from marvin.pa.msu.edu a couple minutes ago
certainly does have a drivers/net/rtl8139.c and the appropriate
configuration option in drivers/net/Config.in.  So I think you're
wrong: Linux 2.2.17 *does* contain a Realtek 8139 driver.
