Search the lists.debian.org archives for the answer. you can manually install a module (what a driver is called in unix, or more formally a 'kernel module'). you can use 'lsmod' or 'modprobe'. do 'man lsmod' or 'man modprobe' for more info. After you determine what modules you need, add them to the file /etc/modules. This is were the kernel get a list of modules to load upon boot. Also, there are two kinds of modules: ones that are 'compiled in' the kernel and those that you load manually. This is the latter. -Kev
