I ran into these same problems when trying to install Sarge on my Asus
A8V and created a bug report
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=292445). To get
around it, I downloaded an install disc from a couple of months ago. I
don't remember which exact one. The bug must have been introduced in a
later version of the kernel, because I was then able to get the network
card to work so that I could install the OS. Then after the OS was
installed, I upgraded to the latest kernel and everything worked fine.
