As someone else mentioned, you are looking for the e1000 driver, which
was not included in the latest kernel in woody (I think 2.4.18 or
somewhere around there). The e1000 module is available in 2.4.21 and
later.
I ran into the same issue with a Dell PowerEdge 600SC that I have. I
ended up downloading the kernel-image for 2.4.21, copying it over to the
machine, and manually installing dependencies from sarge. If I were
going to do it again, I would probably just install straight from sarge.
HTH,
Jeremy
