Rodrigo,
we cannot help if you don't tell what is the exact model of the network
card. Type the command
lspci -vnn
in the running Debian and copy the lines about the ethernet controller.

Most probably your network card is not supported by the kernel 2.6.32 that
comes with debian 6.
Let me suggest that you install a testing version of Debian (version 7,
Wheeze). This version is close to stable. It will probably detect your
network card and also will save you from having to upgrade the system
during the next 4 years. Here you can find the testing images:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/
or
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/
However, if you insist in running Debhian stable, you could try to install
a full cdrom or dvd image (not netinst) and then download and install the
kernel 3.2 from Debian backports. Here you can find the package:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64
You have to download this package and the packages of the dependencies,
and install them with dpkg. For example:
dpkg --install linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64_3.2.35-2~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
This command must be done as root. When you do this command, probably the
installer will complain of a missing dependency. Then you go back to
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64
find the dependency package, download and install with dpkg and then do
the command
dpkg --configure -a
Repeat this this untill everything install OK, reboot the system and
choose the kernel 3.2.0. It is a rather painful procedure.
Best regards,
João Luis.
