You could.  http://packages.dell.org - search for kernel-image (woody).

If you want to reinstall, Try using the dell debian images.  They have 
E1000 drivers on them -- I've used them for a couple of servers (1 dell, 
1 non-dell) that had the E1000 chipset.

http://linux.dell.com/distributions.shtml (Look for the debian section).


You could also use the sarge installer, they're there by default.
