Hello Thomas,
This is what I have done:
* Search for a Debian package with newst kernel for Wheezy
This is what I would do:
* On a (friends) computers with access to Internet
* Go to https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64/download
* Download the linux dot deb
* Put it on a USB storage device
* Take the USB storage device to the computer with the "new" NIC
* Open a "terminal", so have the CLI, Command Line Interface
* Be come "root", examples given, `sudo -i`, `su -`
* change directory to where the linux dot deb is
* execute the command `dpkg -i linux*.deb`
* see how the new kernel gets installed
* reboot the computer
* the bootloader will shortly show a menu which kernel to use.
(most likely became the new kernel the default)
* Report the milage at debian-boot mailinglist
Groeten
