lsmod only shows already loaded modules.

I suppose you compiled a new kernel, set
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_NET_PCI=y
CONFIG_8139TOO=m #<--- that's the module you need.

Don't forget "update-modules" and "depmod -va" after making the modules.
And modify your /etc/modutils/aliases file:
alias eth0 8139too
^^^^
that's your interface name, should be eth0 for your first NIC.

Then load the module using "modprobe 8139too". Check the loaded modules
using "lsmod":
[...]
8139too 11936 1

And continue configuring your network. Hint:
man ifconfig
man route

I hope I could.

Try to join an english-speaking mailing list if you don't speak german,
look for it at www.debian.org.
