I can think of a total of 10 different installation methods that could be
characterised as a network install. 4 of these are currently known to be
broken:

1. netboot i386 install with 2.4 kernel, using daily built initrd: ok
2. netboot i386 install with 2.6 kernel, using daily built initrd: ok
3. netboot i386 install with 2.4 kernel, using beta4 initrd: probably broken
4. netboot i386 install with 2.6 kernel, using beta4 initrd: probably broken
5. floppy+net-drivers install, using daily built images: ok
6. floppy+net-drivers install, using beta4 images: probably broken
7. businesscard and network install, using daily built images: ok
8. businesscard and network install, using beta4 images: broken
9. netinst CD install (no actual network download), using daily built images: ok
10. netinst CD install (no actual network download), using beta4 images: ok

I have heard all of these called a "network install"; this lack of
specificity is why we have installation report templates that help
users be very specific about exactly what version of the installer they
used. Until we know exactly what was used, we generally can't help you,
or helping you would end up using much more of both of our time than it
would take you to compose a detailed installation report.

FWIW, I've verified that the module you want is available using methods
1, 2, 5, 7, and 9. I'm guessing that you're using method 3, which
probably won't work.

There is a installation report template on the web, and a menu item in
the installer to save your logs to a floppy.
