These days the Debian way is to create your /etc/conf.modules by combining
the files found in /etc/modutils. If you have an existing conf.modules that
was edited manually or maybe created by an older version of Debian it wants
you to think carefully before replacing it, hense the above messages.

If you made changes to your conf.modules file earlier to get your net card
working then they've been replaced. Maybe it made a backup though so you
might want to look.

Ok, it's telling you that it didn't find any PCI network cards but if yours
is isa you'll have to specify the IO address manually, either as a kernel boot
parameter (if you have it compiled in) or in your conf.modules (if it's a
module.

Back in the old days (ie before you upgraded) you had specified the io
address of 0x300.
