known bug, try this patch (adjust it to 2.2.18 if needed):

8139too problem in 2.2.18

[John Covici]

Hi.  I have a RealTech 8139 Ethernet card and I am using kernel
2.2.18.  I tried to use the new driver 8139too as a module, but when
doing an insmod or modprobe on the module I got "symbol forparameter
debug not found".  There was nothing obvious in the module source, so
any assistance would be appreciated.

The module has MODULE_PARM(debug) but debug is not defined.  Strictly
speaking the module should be fixed by Alan Cox has asked for modutils
to only issue a warning instead of an error for this type of bug.
modutils 2.3.23 has just been released with this change.

Use an older version of modutils
