I would be interested in know how that goes. The other option would be to use
the debian installation media you already have and:
1) to install with no network card and you may get some module for using
ethernet over firewire
2) then copy over the e1000e src tarball download from intel's website from a
usb drive or other medium
3) install the build-essentials and kernel headers
4) uncompress the e1000e src tarball and compile the kernel module for your
network card.
