Umm, actually, that's exactly what happened to me (after USB turned
out to not be a problem): 2.2 uses the 2.2.17 kernel which doesn't
support (or even identify as ethernet) the 3COM MiniPCI
ether+uselessmodem card on the daewoo motherboard.  However,
installing 2.2.17 without net and then bringing in a 2.2.18
kernel-image worked ok, I just had to manually net-config later (I
didn't look too hard, but unlike other systems, debian doesn't seem to
have a tool that would do "reask the network config questions"...)
