Need a way to install driver / packages



OK, I just installed the base Debian system, and now I need a way to install packages. My big problem is that there is no driver module for my ethernet card in the kernel. Therefore, I can't use a network to get packages. I have a driver for the card, but the only thing I can do is put it on a DOS partition. So, I need a way to get this driver (and packages) onto the Debian partition. Can I:
Somehow mount the DOS partition and read files from there?
Format a disk so Linux will read it, and copy the files from DOS to there?

Thanks much,

Adam
