The kernel will probe and hopefully identify the card and load the correct driver module when booting. If it is a card with jumpers instead of an EEPROM, you may need to specify the IRQ. See the Ethernet-HOWTO <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/> or in the doc-linux-text debian package. You can also recompile the kernel and specify the driver, either as a module or built into the kernel.
