RealTek RTL8139 Linux driver for Debian install?

I was actually surprised that one of the Debian boot images I tried didn't have a 3Com 905 NIC 
driver.  This and the Intel Ether express are the top 2 business NICs.  I was surprised.  I had the 
same problem w/ Novell 6.  You can probably put the driver module on a floppy ( it should fit ) and 
when you come to that point of the install insert the floppy and grab the module.  Do you need 
someone to burn a newer Deb disk?  I've been liking DamnSmall Linux for older PCs and they have a 
boot.img to rawwrite to floppy.   The DamnSmall .iso file never gets over 50MB, so you could even 
get it over dial-up.  I could easily burn you the latest since I already have it.
