You might need to use testing images before stable images, as stable might be 
too old for your computer. 

I had this problem with a PackardBell notebook, which used kernel 3.2.0 for 
installation. This one did not see the network device (neither lan nor wlan). 
With testing and 3.13-1 this problem did not appear. Everything worked fine.

Maybe I should suggest to use at least a newer kernel for installer CD's to 
the installer team?

Good luck!
