No problem - different places, different rules. Here they are as on http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct. Possibly the assumption is that everyone is subscribed unless he/she states otherwise. > And i know im breaking threading by responding now > with a new message.

Hmm, on second thoughts - wasn't it the latest security update, linux-image-2.6-686 version 2.6.18+6etch2? This "+6" can be misleading, because this package depends on another - linux-image-2.6.18-5-686, which contains the actual kernel. So it's still 2.6.18-5, there's no 2.6.18-6 in Etch yet. And I suppose this is what you've installed, perfectly okay. > >What is your Wi-Fi chip?

Probably you haven't installed the driver module for your latest kernel (2.6.18-5). Try installing the ipw3945-modules-2.6-686 package, it will keep your modules up-to-date in the future. And right now it depends on ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-5-686, which will enable the chip on your 2.6.18-5 kernel. Maybe you've installed ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-4-686 earlier, so it fitted the old kernel, but without the ipw3945-modules-2.6-686 "umbrella package" it just stuck at this version.
