http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r4/i386/iso-cd/debian-31r4-i386-netinst.iso
instead. The kernel in Sarge is quite old. Etch has a much more
current kernel with more up to date drivers.
Anyways, I still have Gentoo on that machine, and lspci just tells me that
it's an Intel 1000Gigabit Ethernet Pro. I'm not at the machine now to copy
it verbatim, but it uses the e1000 driver in the kernel. The install cd has
that module in the list of modules for network cards, but the installer says
it can't find the card. I can try to tinker with it when I get home in
about 20 minutes. With my kind of luck, I prolly just need to modprobe it
instead of rely on the installer to find it >.>
I am guessing that trying Etch will solve the problem. If not, you will
likely need to provide the verbatim output of lspci.
