Use modconf to install the module,then manually(yeah,this sucks) edit
/etc/network/interfaces -man interfaces .These is the original file with
all comments that was when potato was unstable-comments have been
removed
since in favor of the man page.:-)

That'll be pretty much all.If you don't have modocnf then apt-get
it.Warning,it
doesn't yet work with 2.4 kernels,a fiexed version will probably be
uploaded
soon in unstable since there is a fix.I got it from debian-devel.
