No. No generic NIC driver.

When installing <alt>-<f1> to go to the first text console. <enter> to get
a prompt. "cat /proc/pci" to see what pci cards you have. The ethernet card
should be listed. Load the module for that card.

Use <alt>-<f7> to get back to the install screen.

Google or this list should be able to help you figure out which driver to
use if it's not obvious.
