Potato probably supports your network card/modem. If you get potato on the internet, (without configuring anything else that is troublesome) then it is a very simple thing to upgrade to woody with apt-get. Then you could configure everything else on your system. Debian is very flexible as regards upgrades. Do you have some reason to believe that you have hardware only supported in woody?
