hv_netvsc. I'll see if the patch I linked to actually fixes the issue
(Microsoft seems to claim it does):

Well, yes, if you're adding new stuff to squeeze I'd say a backport of the
2.6.38 drivers would be excellent. You basically can't run Debian in Hyper-V
except as a toy without them (and debian-installer with out-of-tree modules
is a pain).
