OK. Well, if it is not working, then that is a kernel bug, not an
installation problem. If you want to follow up on that, I suggest you try
testing if the card still does not work with current upstream kernels and
filing a bug report with the upstream kernel people [1].
I'm closing your report as I really don't think we can help you here. Your
hardware just does not seem to be supported (yet). Hopefully we can
provide an installer with a newer kernel that works for you soon after
the release of Etch.
Good luck figuring all this out.
Cheers,
FJP
