That this kernel hangs between 2.2.18 and 2.2.19. After 2.2.18 comes out,
there is worked on 2.2.19 in seps of 2.2.19pre1, 2.2.19pre2, ..., 2.2.19.

No. Followed the scheme above, 2.2.19 is newer than your installed
version. If the source of 2.2.19pre17 is not longer downloadable via
Debian, you have to compile 2.2.19 kernel your own. How? The Debian way!
# apt-get install kernel-package libc6-dev bin86 libncurses5-dev gcc
fakeroot dpkg-dv bzip2 tk8.2-dev
# cd /usr/src/
# tar xIvf kernel-source-2.2.19.tar.bz2
# cd kernel-source-2.2.19
# make-kpkg clean
# cp /boot/Config-2.2.19pre17 .config
# make oldconfig
# make menuconfig (or xconfig, if you have X) if you want to adjust you
rkernel configuration
# fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=9:mykernel.1.0 kernel_image
<take a cup of thee>
# dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.2.19_mykernel.1.0_i386.deb
The last line will install the kernel image and modules and lets lilo
install.
Now you can reboot your computer and start with your new kernel. Now you
can take the steps you need to for compiling your NIC.
Luck,
