Try pressing 'o' (I think) it'll scroll between different ways of listing
packages.  Or you might not actually have the package lists available (try
running dselect's 'update' function).  You could always try using apt-get
directly, too.

Work out which module you need, and do echo <module> >/dec/modules and
modprobe <module>.  Then edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a stanza for
your network card.  Examples should be in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples. 
There is a Debian network configurator, but I can't remember what it is
(never used it).
