You have two options:

* Install a PCI NIC if you have one and use it temporairly

* Use a different computer and transfer via CD

In my case, I downloaded the debs (there ended up being about 8-10 IIRC)
and burned them onto CD.  On the new server, I did:

# dpkg -i *.deb

checked my lilo config, and rebooted.  Everything seemed to work ok
after I loaded the module.
