Well, my last two suggestions are:

1. Try a live-cd based distro, since they include support for as many
devices as they can.  This may give you some insight into which
drivers are used for your cards.

2. Ask on a Debian forum, since there may be a Debian specific
solution to your problem.

Good luck,
