We don't have this module in the installer, because the source is in the pcmcia-cs package, not in the kernel source. The pcmcia-cs modules are no longer built in debian sarge (perhaps you downloaded a version from woody?), since they're thought to be pretty much obsoleted by the pcmcia modules available as part of the kernel. If your card is really not supported by the 3c59x module, then you need to let the pcmcia-cs and kernel maintainers know about that so they can work out a way to provide the module. -- see shy jo
