I think you should be able to get the 2.6.14 headers from the Debian
snapshots archive at http://snapshot.debian.net/

I quickly ran the query there and it seems to me that you have to add
the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6

Then apt-get/aptitude should be able to find the package. (I did not try
this myself, though.)

In the long run it is probably better if you manage to get the 2.6.15
kernel working. I am sure that someone will be able to help you if you
post more details about your ethernet/DHCP problem. However, I think it
is better if you start a new thread for that.
