ic_torres, kernel-modules packages installed, or could it be that the kernel is built with everything compiled inside, rather than as modules? Do you have the configuration file for the kernel handy (I know Slackware keeps those in /boot, but I don't know about Vector)? If so, what does
$ grep 8139 config
return, where config is the kernel configuration file?
Distribution: slackware 12.0, Vector Linux STD 6.0 and 5.8, ZenWalk 4.6.1, OpenBSD 3.9
