problems installing 2.4 kernel



Hello all

I recently installed debian potato 2.2
and quickly discovered that I would need
to install a 2.4 kernel so that I could 
get the computers network card working.

I read through the mailing list archives 
and decided to do the following.


 1, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

        deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
	deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
       
 2, run apt-get update
 3, run apt-get -u dist-upgrade
 
However when all was finished it seems that only 
that only 9 packages were upgraded and none were
newly installed.

The upgraded packages were 
(not sure if this is important):
	e2fsprogs
	makedev
	modconf
	modutils
	ppp
	quota
	bsdutils
	mount	
	util-linux

But no kernel. I just wondering what I did
wrong. And does anyone have any advice viz
how I can put things right.
