OK, I just installed the base Debian system, and now I need a way to

network to get packages. I have a driver for the card, but the only
thing I can do is put it on a DOS partition. So, I need a way to
get this driver (and packages) onto the Debian partition. Can I:
Somehow mount the DOS partition and read files from there?
Format a disk so Linux will read it, and copy the files from DOS to
there?

However, you may already have the driver on your machine, and it's
just not installed. Try running modconf and installing the
Vortex/Boomerang module, or alternatively, as root, "modprobe 3c905c".
Oops, that should be "modprobe 3c59x"
