ubuntu install fiasco

[Net Llama!]

Because I apparently don't learn from my mistakes, I'm trying to get the 
latest ubuntu release (6.10) to install via kickstart.  Over a week ago, I 
downloaded the DVD ISOs, expanded them onto a server, and actually got 
both 32 & 64bit 6.10 versions installing perfectly via kickstart.  Today, 
I actually went to do a real installation, and it blows up immediately 
claiming that one of the files that it needs is missing from the server. 
WTF?  Of course the installer doesn't bother to tell me which file it 
needs, so I actually had to check the apache log on the server to see what 
genrated the 404, and its 
nic-restricted-firmware-2.6.17-10-generic-di_2.6.17.6-1_amd64.udeb.

Now, I've got a nic-restricted-firmware, however the one i've got is 
nic-restricted-firmware-2.6.17-10-generic-di_2.6.17.5-11_amd64.udeb, which 
is seemingly an older version.

What I really would love to understand here is where the installer is 
coming up with this version, and how come it was quite happy with the 
version I had a week ago, but now it wants something newer?
