The header packages are now called "linux-headers-*" instead of
"kernel-headers-*".
You will probably need this one: linux-headers-2.6.18-4-486. Make sure
that its version matches exactly the version of your installed kernel
image; see the output of:
apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.18-4-486
The current Etch kernel with the latest security updates has the version
string "2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2".

I agree with Andrew J. Barr that it is advisable to avoid LinuxAnt
whenever possible. However, if it turns as out that LinuxAnts's driver
is the only way to get your wireless connection going at the moment then
I hope that the information above helps you to complete the
installation.
