I probably cannot give concrete advice, but what might help is if you
list lspci output for your network cards plus anything you can get from
log files, either in the installer or from a running system.
Personally, my approach would be to install a minimal system without
networking first and then use that to diagnose the situation. Of course
that assumes you have a second system with internet access (or
dual-booting or a live CD or …)
