This sounds familliar...

The last time I installed, which was about a year ago, the 8139 was
built in to 9load but not into the actual kernel, producing the
symptoms you describe.  I'd try building a new kernel, making sure that
it has the 8139 driver.

Once I had a proper kernel, I didn't have to do anything to plan9.ini.
