After some work, I have discovered at least one reason for the
failure: The ethernet card is actually 3c509 and not 3c59x. The Debian
floppy does not have 3c509 with it.

The version of Linux on the harddrive has the 3c509 module, but it
used the 2.2 kernel. Will it work? The only thing that I can possibly
think of is to copy that file to a floppy, boot into Debian, then move
that file from the floppy to /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/net/ and
modprobe it. Will this work?
