It does. Why do you think otherwise? What card do you need it to
support?

You don't need them anyway. You should be able to get your NIC working
with the net install cd.

Ahh, don't bother buying them. Once you have your NIC working you can
just download and install the packages you want painlessly using
apt-get.

same as the Intel. Just use the i386 binaries.

Cheers,
