not sure exactly which 2.6.8 kernel is in the sarge install, but I
still have 2.6.8-2 hanging around and it has the e1000 module, so
probably a 'linux26' when booting the installer would do it. if not,
then the etch install definitely will.

Thanks for the tips! I downloaded the etch cd and it detected my card and
installed fine. The only issue now is getting the nvidia driver installed.
The 'nv' driver doesn't work with my widescreen display at all. It looks
like to do this, I need to have a custom kernel so the driver from nvidia
can build a module for it. Might there be an easier way to do this?
