My guess (which is what this is since you didn't provide more details)
is that you didn't read the kernel CONFIG file properly and missed the
part which says:

    # MII bus support is required for some PCI 10/100 ethernet NICs,
    # namely those which use MII-compliant transceivers or implement
    # tranceiver control interfaces that operate like an MII. Adding
    # "device miibus0" to the kernel config pulls in support for
    # the generic miibus API and all of the PHY drivers, including a
    # generic one for PHYs that aren't specifically handled by an
    # individual driver.
    device      miibus

    # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code.
    [...]
    device      rl      # RealTek 8129/8139
