I had the same problem with the sid pure64 netinst iso image. The 
workaround was to exit base-config, reboot to the installed kernel 
(which did have the module) then edit /etc/network/interfaces 
and /etc/resolv.conf by hand. Then I did ifup eth0 and tried 
base-config again - I was then able to configure apt using one of the 
pure64 mirrors. 

I agree this is an unfortunate bug in the installer, as so many amd64 
machines seem to have that ethernet chipset. 

Cheers

Daniel
