Well, it is not really officially supported, but Kenshi Muto is a DD and
has provided the images for quite some time.

have fun

I had a similar problem with my HP Mini 110. The NIC driver, although
FOSS, was not in the Lenny kernel. The wireless driver is Broadcom,
which relies on a binary blob. So, I needed to use a recent build of the
Squeeze installer, that had a kernel with the NIC driver. I was then
able to do a successful netinst, after which I could get everything else
setup.

Thanks Wolodja for pointing to this site. The installer from Kenshi Muto
worked for me. Now the final test it to make it work with VMware Server.

For those following along at home, I recently had a similar
issue with drivers, but solved it differently -- the 2.6.32
kernel (same version number as Ubuntu 10.04) is in lenny-backports.

Of course, if the issue is missing SATA or network drivers
messing up your install, the backport kernel is not as useful, but
still, it's an option.

There was some talk at the time of the lenny release that a
"lennynhalf" kernel release might be provided, similar to what
was done for "etchnhalf", but I haven't heard anything recently
about that.

IIRC it was decided that the squeeze installer + backports kernel fills
that gap. You can search through the archives of debian-release.
