What release of Redhat or Linux distribution are you running again?

It is not included with Redhat 6.2.

It is included with Redhat 7.1
It is located in lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/net
It has a date of Apr 8, 2001.
Size is 26356

The 8139too.o driver is included in Coyote Linux 1.30 and 1.31.

Coyote uses the 2.2.19 kernel so the drivers could work with Redhat 6.x.
