You might cheat and boot KNOPPIX and see if it recognizes the card, and 
then build/load the module in Debian. Or you might do it the "proper" 
way, which is lspci -vv and then trying to figure out what your card 
is, if it has modules for Linux and where these are.

I'd go with #1 :-)

Usually finding out which driver is appropriate is the toughest part of 
getting it to work.
