Steve and Sindi,
Thanks for the reply.  I finally found the 8139too.o file on the
knoppix disk and was successful in copying both the rtl8139.c and
8139too.o files to the lib/modules/2.2.16/misc directory.  I then did
the insmod on with both.  The insmod on 8139too.o returned 29 lines
of unresolved symbols.  
The rtl8139.c file returned the following:  (By the way I had to do
the insmod from the /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc directory because if I
did it from the root prompt it came back "file rtl8139.c.o could not
be found". It obviously looks for a .o file to do its thing.)
Here is the return:  
Using rtl8139.c
insmod: not an ELF file (maybe BL3 is not configured for high speed)
insmod: could not load the module: Success
I don't know what the "Success" means but the browser wouldn't open
when I clicked on internet.  It just came back "host not found". 
That's where I am now, will let it rest for a while and try again. 
Maybe I need to configure the browser but I haven't figured that out
yet.
