Kernel version and X version (to which /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 belongs to)
have nothing to do with each other. What does 'dpkg -l|grep xfree' say?
Also, XFree86 is at version 4.1 in woody.

Package name is simply etherconf. Also, it is in all releases:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=etherconf&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
What does 'dpkg -l etherconf' say?

No idea. Did you apt-get update after adding package sources? For me
it's there:
mario@sonic:~$ apt-cache search etherconf
etherconf - debconf interface to Ethernet device configuration
mario@sonic:~$
This is my sources.list (no CD sources though):
