To be specific, the latest kernel available in Woody does not include
the drivers for the e1000. If you have a spare NIC to throw in the
machine, you could install Woody, and then download the kernel source
from kernel.org.
What I did in the same situation was download the latest 2.4 kernel from
testing on a seperate box, burn it to a CD, and then `dpkg -i` on the
machine with the e1000. When it asked for dependencies, I went back and
copyied those files onto the CD, and tried it again. There ended up
being 10-12 .deb files to get everything installed.
Once you do that, you could stay with woody, or dist-upgrade to sarge.
