Wow, Debian install system seems to be much more friendly than I
expected.
I thought the right way of finding network driver is to look into kernel
source and its Makefile to find out module names and insert them into
/etc/modules.
This is typical of Debian, though. It's strength is in "upgrade" and
not in initial install nor in hardware upgrade adjustments :)
Read Debian site www.debian.org/doc carefully. Install manual must be
read before trying install. Debian requires steep learning curve but
once you do it, maintenance is easy.
Have fun with Debian.
