I was worried about this. But the module (in my case 'ne') did show up in
/lib/modules after the install. All I had to do was add it to /etc/modules
and create the /etc/modutils/network entry as I indicated above. I may have
had to run 'modules-update' -- I don't remember just now.
The main point is you can safely complete your Debian installation and fix
up your NIC config later.
