i) "apt-cache show kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686" says:
Filename: pool/updates/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386/kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686_2.4.18-13.1_i386.deb
You might try http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ to get at that.
There's probably better ways, but that's a start.
ii) Sorry, I've no experience with e1000 nics. See lists.debian.org
and flip through the debian-users archive.
