that's a first. a winmodem is detected easier then a NIC ..!! wow.
I'd suggest booting redhat and do a 'lsmod' to find out what modules
are loaded, the network module will probably be pretty easy to single
out. then load that module on the debian side(modprobe module_name).
If it works then add the module name to /etc/modules to load it each
time the system starts up.
assuming the NIC is supported at all in the stock kernels. from a quick
search it may be a tulip based card, so modprobe tulip may make
the interface available.
If you were unable to configure networking during installation then
you may need to configure that as well, a simple setup would be
to put the following line in /etc/network/interfaces :
iface eth0 inet dhcp
then run /etc/init.d/networking restart
good luck
