No, because backports is for newer stuff. Linux 2.6 is only in
oldstable and snapshot.debian.org now.

[...]
So the problem occurs with this motherboard and network card, but seems
independent of recent kernel changes. I think this is a BIOS or
hardware incompatibility problem, not a kernel bug. Please report this
to the motherboard vendor. I don't intend to investigate this further,
but feel free to add more information to this report if you think there
is something we can do to fix the problem.
Ben.
