Actually "woody" and "potato" are the code names used before a new
version is released (they are derived from the character names in the
movie "Toy Story" (Bruce Perens (K6BP), who works at Pixar where the
movie was made was the Debian Project Manager a few years ago).
The official name corresponding to "potato" is Debian 2.2. It was
released a few weeks ago and included kernel 2.2.17, although some of
the applications are a bit dated. The modules would be those available
in the standard 2.2.17 source. Included as packages in Debian 2.2 are
libax25-0.0.7, AX25-tools-0.0.4 and AX25-apps-0.0.5.
