Do you mean that the default installation kernel didn't support the
hardware ?  Just configure && compile a new kernel.  And in the case of
network cards, I'd be surprised if none of the four install-time kernels
on the standard Debian 3.0 disk 1 cd had support for (although perhaps 
by way of a kernel-module) this device ?  What was it ?

"Half decent Linux distribution in 'cofiguration required before use'
non-shocker".
