When booted in expert mode, it complaints about the "unavailable"
module for sungem (Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth 2 GMAC) which is
a 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet controller chip. But despite the lack
of a module, the installer is able to find the chip, run DHCP, and
configure Internet access on it.
cat /proc/modules shows no sungem module, but ifconfig shows the
interface up and with a reasonable IP address.

Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your hardware are not
available yet. Simply proceeding with the install may make these
modules available later.
This is perfectly clear, not useless, and not a bug.
