Well the 8139 driver is called 8139too.  I haven't encountered a
revision that the debian installer didn't support personally, but given
the number of revisions realtek has made, I wouldn't be surprised if
they had managed to make yet another incompatible revision with the same
model number.

Which version of debian are you trying to install and using which
installer (and revision)?
