I guess that you need a newer kernel that supports your NIC. It would
help if you could paste the output of "lspci -knn" from your Ubuntu
installation or from within a live cd like grml. You could also check
the hardware support situation at:
http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
Debian provides stable installers with newer kernels at:
http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/
which you might want to use in order to solve your problem. I would
strongly discourage installing testing just because your NIC is not
supported by Lenny's kernel.
have fun
