The 8390 module is not a net driver as such, it is more like a generic
interface to the driver, and is often loaded by the real driver when you
use modprobe.

"This is the chip-specific code for many 8390-based ethernet adaptors.
 This is not a complete driver, it must be combined with board-specific
 code such as ne.c, wd.c, 3c503.c, etc."

For example if you have an NE2000 card, both the 8390.o and the ne.o
modules are loaded.

I did a quick grep through /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/* for "8013" and got
matches from smc-ultra.c and wd.c

Try using one of those drivers instead
