Your system has a SATA CD-ROM drive, according to:

I don't know why your Debian Etch network install CD does not detect
your CD-ROM drive. Is it an older version?
If it is, I recommend downloading a Debian Etch full install CD and
trying that. Don't worry about the network card for now, I'm sure you
can get it working.
