since it is a kernel module, if it is present in a kernel version in
one distro it is present in another, i.e. , Debian. You may have to
manually insert the correct module if the install system fails to pick
it up. 'modprobe <module name>' at a second vt.
Use a daily-build net-install disk to get an uptodate install disk.
