can't install linux-headers-2.6.21


I have Linux debian etch with kernel 2.6.21-2-686 SMP, when i tried to install ndiswrapper (for my wireless network (http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Ins...pper_in_Debian)) it says that it can't find linux-header-2.6.21-2-686 , ,I don't have connection on my Debian, so i downloaeded a linux-header and installed it, but it was not the right one , I looked in the Debian packages web site and tried some other headers that have the same version number but no one was good
so can you please give me a link to this header because I can't find it myself

I tried these :
http://packages.debian.org/etch-back...aders-2.6.21-2
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/lin.../i386/download
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/lin.../i386/download


one of the error messages is :

Code:
linux-headers-2.6.21-2-686 depends on linux-headers-2.6.21-2 (= 2.6.21-6~bpo.1)
You need to get linux-headers-2.6.21-2 too.
