Wonderful. I would suggest to replace the kernel you have now by one
from http://www.backports.org as you will receive kernel updates then.

kind regards

so if I wanted to upgrade my kernel, and I am using backports, I could do
this:

# aptitude -t lenny-backports install linux-image-2.6-686

and it would install the package 2.6.32+27~bpo50+1 ?

That should work. I use the aptitude curses interface to make such changes,
since sometimes aptitude needs a bit of help with resolving dependencies.
That shouldn't matter for the kernel though, since it has few dependencies.

Note that if you have any modules you've compiled (and installed) through
module-assistant that you should recompile them for the new kernel before
rebooting into it. (Depending on your setup you may also need to fiddle with
your boot loader.)

that would be my nvidia video driver.. so I would also need the kernel
headers..

I guess that you need a newer kernel that supports your NIC. It would
help if you could paste the output of "lspci -knn" from your Ubuntu
installation or from within a live cd like grml. You could also check
the hardware support situation at:

http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/

Debian provides stable installers with newer kernels at:

http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/

which you might want to use in order to solve your problem. I would
strongly discourage installing testing just because your NIC is not
supported by Lenny's kernel.

have fun
