It would help to know the PCI vendor and device IDs of the network card.
Does the installer let you switch to a terminal with CTRL + ALT + F2 (or
another function key)? In that case you can try to run "lspci -nn" and
find the line(s) of the ethernet controller(s). The relevant information
will be (almost) at the end of the line(s); it consists of two
four-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by a colon and
enclosed in square brackets (an example: "[10ec:8139]").
You could also try one of Kenshi Muto's customized Lenny installer
images, they have newer kernels: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/
