We don't have this module in the installer, because the source is in the
pcmcia-cs package, not in the kernel source. The pcmcia-cs modules are
no longer built in debian sarge (perhaps you downloaded a version from
woody?), since they're thought to be pretty much obsoleted by the pcmcia
modules available as part of the kernel. If your card is really not
supported by the 3c59x module, then you need to let the pcmcia-cs and
kernel maintainers know about that so they can work out a way to provide
the module.
