FWIW: I have the very same notebook (but the version without the nvidia card, only the intel one). Network controler is reported by lspci as: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04) Trying to install Squeeze, I found out, that it a) seems to need a newer kernel and b) needs some firmware files. Using the unofficial installer from kmuto at http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ (I picked squeeze-custom-amd64-0614.iso as that one also contains the needed firmware file) worked for me.
