I had this experience though not with the same card and it was with "Woody".
Installing Sarge from the netinstall iso image and choosing a 2.6.x kernel
solved the problem for me. If you have a different NIC to use during the
install, that might help. The problem in my case seemed to be that the
installer had a driver for my onboard NIC but this driver was not in the
stock kernel.
BTW I was able to install Xandros and LindowsOS on the same machine with which
I had the same difficulty that you are having, just not Debian "Woody".
