need help in installing nic drivers



Greetings.

I just purchased a Dell server with the intention of installing Debian woody
on it ... all looks good except the NIC ... instructions seem to be for Red
Hat 7.x only, about which it says, "There is native driver support for the
integrated Intel 10/100/1000 NIC. To enable Linux support for the NIC,
install the e1000.o module from (location given)" ....

Since the base installation was unable to find the NIC, i'm assuming that
Debian will require the same module (?) ... if so, where can I find info on
installing it (I'm trying to move up in the world, having experimented with
Mandrake for the last several months, and I've never needed to know how to
do this ...

Feel free, of course, to tell me to RTFM, but please point me the right
direction ...

Any and all help GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

Ken
