I have a desktop with the 3c940/marvell onboard which uses the sk98lin 
driver.
When I first installed on it, woody was still the way to go. Of course, 
the nic was not supported at that time. (kernel 2.4.18bf2)
So I installed the system as usual from cd and afterwards copied kernel 
sources (an usb stick might be a good choice here) onto the hard disk, 
thus enabling me to compile a newer kernel with the sk98lin. After 
installing it I could resume the rest of the installation.
Meanwhile the system is running sarge and a current 2.6 kernel.

hth,
