Matthew, After the installer completed and the CD ejected, I rebooted the machine and it booted strait into the graphical interface without any requests for firmware. At that point I verified that eth1 (the pci card) had an IP address and I pinged a few sites. When I moved the ethernet cable from the pci card to the onboard RTL8111 adapter it just worked. I had an IP for eth0, pinged a few sites, checked my email...
It seems to me that perhaps the installed system had patches that the installer did not include, or perhaps the installer was prompting for firmware that it should not have needed in the first place...
