Thank you Florian, that solved my problem!
I know that I should update the kernel but I'm trying to stick with
Debian testing and the kernel I have was already picked ahead which is
something I which to avoid except when necessary as was the case.
Best,
Antonio

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.)
Andreas, I also tried to install the 2.6.15 kernel from unstable but for
some reason the kernel is unable to get my ethernet connection running.
The interface exists but it cannot get a IP address through DHCP.
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.
Regards,
Florian
