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.
