Ok, there are several things we'll need to know.
If you don't mind, in your spare time, do take a look at a faq I made
for another Linux list at 

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/linfaq.html

This list is less of a beginners list.


We'd need to know, what version of the kernel 
(type uname -a at a prompt)
What kind of ethernet card

Was the card working under another O/S?

(This isn't criticism, we all had to learn these things at some point,
and all start off asking the wrong question)

It sounds more as if it's a matter of the kernel not recognizing your
card than Debian not recognizing your card.

So, if you answer the above questions, someone can probably give you
some help.
