Seriously out of date. It hasn't had any non-security upgrades since even
longer ago than that. It originally released in mid-2002.

I think if I were in your spot, with a recently-installed box where I hadn't
done anything of terrible importance yet, and with a broadband connection
available, I would start over with the Sarge net install CD. It's much more
likely to detect and support your NIC during the install, it will automate
the process of setting up your sources.list, and you'll start off with a
respectably modern overall system in probably less time than it would take
you to sort out why your NIC isn't working on that Woody box, fix everything
up by hand, and then dist-upgrade to Sarge from where you are now.
You can get there from where you are, surely, but is it worth it? For my
time, it wouldn't be by a long shot. For that matter, Sarge hasn't even
released yet, and it's already too old for my taste. I've put some boxes
back on Sid.
