If you choose network install, it will go to configure the network. Alternatively you can configure the network first, using the main menu item. If you're saying you need a non-compiled-in module for your network card, then right you can't get it done without some other media. But most common modules are compiled into the Debian supplied kernels. -- "The way the Romans made sure their bridges worked is what we should do with software engineers.
