Just for you info the RTL8139 is a Realtek card. So based on that here is a solution.

If you are directly connected to the cable modem and then you need to edit two files and that should make it work. they are as follows:

/etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 8139too

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no

If those files don't exist then you will need to create them. Otherwise just edit them and set them up like that.

If you don't have the Realtek 8139 card then instead of "alias eth0 8139too" you will need to find what driver module your card uses and replace 8139too with that name.
