    The next spet I would try is to install using another kernel. Debian
    offers several installation kernels on the first CD, including
    2.4.18-bf2.4. Read the instructions after you boot from the CD. If you
    already installed the system and everything works fine except the
    network card, install some other kernel image via apt-get and try that
    one. However most of the kernel images in packaged form are on CD 5.

    best regards
