Support for the 82567LM-3 (PCI ID 8086:10de) was added to the e1000e
driver in linux-2.6 2.6.26-25, which is part of the recent[1] Debian
Lenny point release (5.0.6).

In your situation, you could either:

  * Acquire an update CD/DVD[2] and upgrade your system to 5.0.6.

  * Temporarily use an alternate network device (e.g. supported wireless
    LAN adapter) in order to communicate with a Debian archive mirror,
    then upgrade your system to 5.0.6.

  * Manually acquire the relevant linux-image-2.6.26-2-* package for
    your system from packages.debian.org[3], transfer and install via
    dpkg.

An interface for this network device should become available once your
system is restarted with the updated kernel.
